I don't think there's any situation I've seen where I don't want my certificates to be renewed. As a sysadmin, the more repetitive tasks I can automate, the better.
- Fnoord 9y agoYou must've seen automated subscriptions which you did not want to renew? My comment was more a general statement to combat a type of procrastination (a deadline which must be met slightly before its date), specifically with the mechanic of both automated and manual subscriptions. Calendar reminders work wonderful with _both_. I can also think of various scenarios where you don't want certificates to be renewed. Or well, maybe you don't but the users would. Like for example when your server no longer works, or got confiscated. A low timeout aids in lowering the amount of those certificates.
- vertex-four 9y agoAutomated payments are a different matter from automated infrastructure that's already been paid for. I have automated tickets created when I need to do things that I haven't automated yet, but, I still want to automate as much as possible. I have not run into the problems that you're suggesting I should've. If a server no longer works or was confiscated, why would I still have DNS pointing at it? And does it really matter if I have some servers renewing certificates unnecessarily anyway?
