CertExpiryCritical

Certificate is about to expire in less than 7 days. Regenerate or reimport certificate. Name of the service
generating this alarm is Cisco Certificate Expiry Monitor. The alarms are generated when any certificate
generated by the system or uploaded into the system expires. Cisco Unified CM uses certificates for
Tomcat (Web Server), CallManager, IPSEc and Directory. Refer Security guide for more details on
various certificates. When a certificate generated by Cisco Unified CM, the default validity of the
self-signed certificate is for 5 years. In case of Certificates signed by a CA, the validity is dependent on
the Expiry date set by CA while issuing the certificate. Once a certificate is about to expire "Cisco
Certificate Expiry Monitor"" service generates alarms. The severity of the alarm is dependent on how
much time is left for the certificate to expire.
The impact to system operation depends on the which certificate expired. This information is contained
in the alarm. If Tomcat certificate expired, while connecting to Cisco Unified CM web pages, browser
will throw an error stating certificate has expired. One can still ignore the warning and continue to
connect to Cisco Unified CM pages.
In case of Directory-trust, if Directory trust certificate uploaded to Cisco Unified CM expires, Cisco
Unified CM may not be able to establish SSL connection with external LDAP server. The overall impact
is that SSL connection between Cisco Unified CM and other external Servers will fail.
