Manual TLS Certificate Renewal
Teams struggle to renew, deploy, and track TLS/PKI certificates across many heterogeneous systems, causing outages and manual toil.
In their words
I'm trying to find an automation solution for cert renewals and I noticed that certain services that advertise having integration is only renewing the same cert and extending the duration. No new key pair.
nobody on the team has time to sit there and securely erase hundreds of drives when we are already drowning in tickets
we don’t have a discovery tool. So unfortunately that justified the cost of a cert lifecycle tool
It took me two months just to get NDES working. Maintaining it? Please... don't ask.
My workplace just got forced into buying a BS $400 cert so that we could connect to an API
not all our servers can be automated
Until they come through we continue to purchase and manually install certs.
you don't always know when a renewal silently fails until a client is already down
It's error-prone, someone always forgets, and last time it expired during a customer demo on a Friday afternoon.
the really stupid part of all this is that this is not a built in feature in Entra.
They should just code in automatic certificate renewal for exchange and ADFS at this point. It is stupid that I had to write my own scripts to handle it.
Is there a legit plan to automate SSL certs coming anytime soon?
The worst part of self-hosting for me was always the reverse proxy + SSL cert dance. Every time I set up a new service on a VPS
each form was ~30-40 actions to fill out correctly... it was a maddening task
Sysadmins and IT ops
Where they talk
- r/sysadmin
- r/PKI
- r/Intune
- r/networking
- r/cybersecurity
- r/devops
- r/Wordpress
- r/AZURE
Tools they use today
- Let's Encrypt
- certbot
- ACME
- Sectigo
- Microsoft Intune
- nginx
- PowerShell
- Caddy
Why those fall short
- no API, no automation, search by hostname broken, rekey option hidden
- no alert when renewal silently stops; no central tracking of where certs live
- renewal status not exposed everywhere; auto renewal sometimes fails silently
- error-prone, someone always forgets, expired during customer demo
- NDES takes months to set up and randomly stops working
