I logged into work this morning and heard this shocking news about TLS certificate expiration changing to just 47 days, which I thought was really strange. I found an article discussing it and wanted to know if anyone has more information or insights about this change. Here's the article I was linked: https://www.digicert.com/blog/tls-certificate-lifetimes-will-officially-reduce-to-47-days

There’s been a lot of chatter about this topic recently. It's a major shift for those who manage certificates, so you'd want to get ahead of it if you can. Automation tools will be crucial to keep up with the new requirements and minimize your workload.
If you're still doing certificate management manually, now’s the time to rethink that strategy. There are lots of tools that can help automate this process, so definitely explore those options.
My current setup doesn't support automation completely; I can’t automate the application process or swapping out certificates. It’s a tedious process with multiple steps.
Yes, it’s true! The maximum lifetime for TLS certificates issued by Public CAs will officially reduce to 47 days starting March 15, 2029. This change has been discussed for a while now, so it’s definitely time to start automating certificate issuance processes at your workplace.
I totally agree! If automation doesn’t improve, it's going to be a significant challenge for many of us.
