TLS Certificate Expiration Monitor

The TLS Certificate monitor allows a customer to be notified when a certificate is nearing expiration or has already expired.

One possible implementation of this is whenever the z/TPF SSL code reads in a cert from file, it will issue a warning message to the console if the expiration date is less than 30 days from the current date (or is already expired). For certificates nearing expiration, we would like to knowing the certificate file name and path along with the application program using the certificate. The support should be capable of monitoring certificates that are using shared or non-shared SSL. The messages would of course need to throttled to avoid flooding the console for a client application creating many SSL sessions in a short period of time. In addition to a console message, it may make sense to invoke a user exit as well, to allow customers to extend the monitoring capabilities and possibly automate the certificate re-issuance programmatically.

Knowing when certificates are expiring allows us to properly monitor the z/TPF system and re-issue certificates before the certificate expiration actually occurs.
