Annual Certificate Refresh

  • All SoCS web servers have connections protected by TLS encryption (mostly HTTPS). These certificates need to be renewed
  • SocS uses CCS to provide the certificate through their contract with Entrust. This is a wildcard certificate that can be applied to any server we have.
  • The max renewal time for one of these certificates is one year, so this process must take place annually
  • The process involves downloading the new certificate on each server and replacing the old one with the new. The web service (apache/nginx) must then be restarted
