Abstract
A computer system detects that a digital certificate is set to expire within a threshold amount of time. In response to detecting that the digital certificate is set to expire, the computer system generates an update to cause a second computer system to perform operations to indicate an upcoming expiration of the digital certificate. The computer system provides the update to the second computer system to cause the second computer system to perform the operations.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- detecting that a digital certificate is set to expire within a threshold amount of time, the digital certificate provided in response to requests to interact with a computing service and usable to authenticate a server of the computing service;
- generating an update to configuration information of the server of the computing service to cause the server to increase, over the threshold amount of time, a latency in providing the digital certificate in response to the requests to interact with the computing service;
- and
- providing the update to the configuration information to the server to cause the server to increase, over the threshold amount of time, the latency in providing the digital certificate to indicate the upcoming expiration of the digital certificate.
A system, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory to store computer-executable instructions that, if executed, cause the one or more processors to:
- detect, based at least in part on an expiration of a digital certificate, that the digital certificate is set to expire within a threshold amount of time;
- generate an update to cause a computer system to perform one or more operations that, as a result of being performed, increase, over the threshold amount of time, a latency of a server that provides the digital certificate to indicate an upcoming expiration of the digital certificate;
- and
- provide the update to cause the one or more operations to be performed.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing thereon executable instructions that, as a result of being executed by one or more processors of a computer system, cause the computer system to at least:
- detect, based at least in part on an expiration of a digital certificate, that the digital certificate is set to expire within a threshold amount of time;
- generate an update to cause a second computer system to perform one or more operations to increase, over the threshold amount of time, a latency of the second computer system that serves as an indication of an upcoming expiration of the digital certificate;
- and
- provide the update to second computer system.
