01 / Do it yourself

From zero to working.

Read the complete sequence before starting. Use a test account or non-production copy whenever the workflow touches important business data.

  1. 01
    STEP 1

    Run the check against the hostname on port 443.

  2. 02
    STEP 2

    Confirm the subject or SAN includes the hostname.

  3. 03
    STEP 3

    Record the expiry date and renewal owner.

  4. 04
    STEP 4

    Set alerts at least 30 and 7 days before expiry.

02 / Useful starter

Terminal

openssl s_client -connect example.com:443 -servername example.com </dev/null 2>/dev/null | openssl x509 -noout -subject -issuer -dates

03 / Check before you change

Useful guardrails.

Replace example.com in both places

CDNs may manage the certificate

Check auto-renew health too

Do not paste private keys anywhere
