Why? The whole point of LE is to be able to automate renewals and if you automate it then the length of validity makes zero difference.
- qwerty666 9y agoWhy would anyone install what is basically alpha quality software on their server and allow access to critical functions? That is world-class malpractice.
- CJefferson 9y agoThen why doesn't letsencrypt.org eat their own dogfood, rather than have a 3 year certificate?
- imron 9y agoAt a guess, I'd say the reason is because Let's Encrypt (the service) didn't exist when they got their certificate. From Wikipedia: > Let's Encrypt is a certificate authority that launched on April 12, 2016 From Let's Encrypt's certificate > Period of Validity > Begins On: 2015/2/4 I agree they should eat their own dogfood, but in the meantime, I'm eating their dogfood and it tastes pretty good.
