RE: Digital Certificate Expiration

I did this  with Verisign, and they sent email and snail mail reminders 3
months in advance so you could schedule it properly.

How are people managing digital certificate expirations?

We are setting up SSL for our MQ queues.  This is for different iSeries
partitions in different datacenters and some PC servers.  The default
when creating DCs is that they expire in one year.  I'm assuming that
when I renew my certificates that I'll need to export them back out to
the other systems.  This is about a 2 hours process.  

Other than setting a reminder in my calendar for next year I see no way
to remember this.  I see no way the iSeries will remind me other than
the application failing.   Heck, I might not even be involved with this
next year.
