As you know, there are many kinds of certificates in Ovirt, used for communication, authentication and so on.

However, in practice, there is a security risk related to the above certificates.

 

That is, you need to generate a new certificate after the certificate expires. Otherwise, a problem will occur.

In addition, different certificates expire at different times, which brings a lot of management trouble to users.

Especially in the production system, a huge virtualization cluster may run thousands of VMS. If a cluster certificate has a problem, the impact is very serious.

 

So I felt there was an urgent need for a technical tool that could help users quickly locate certificates, identify their expiration dates, and rebuild them.

Even if there is no tool, there should be a way to solve the problems caused by partial certificate expiration. I think it should include the following points:

First, how to list the certificate in detail

Second, how to check the certificate expiration time

Third, how to rebuild the certificate

 

Does anyone else have this kind of confusion? What's a good solution?

 

Thanks.
