Table 4-6
Parameter
critical
relativeBeginTime
Description
Specifies whether the extension should be marked critical or noncritical in
certificates specified by the predicate parameter. Check the box if you want the
server to mark the extension critical. Uncheck the box if you want the server to
mark the extension noncritical (default).
Specifies the first time automatic renewal of certificate that contains the extension
should be attempted.
Permissible values: 0 or n.
• 0 specifies that the renewal window begins at the same time the certificate is
issued; the beginTime field of the extension will be set to the time of
certificate issuance.
• n specifies a future time for certificate renewal; the beginTime field of the
extension will be set to the specified time since certificate issuance. You can
specify the time period in seconds, minutes, hours, days, or months. Use the
following suffixes to indicate the time unit.
s - seconds
m - minutes
h - hours
D - days
M - months
For example, if you're issuing certificates with a validity period of two years
and want the renewal window to begin a month before the certificates expire,
and want to specify the interval in months, you would enter 23M in this field.
To specify the same validity interval in seconds, you would set the value to
59616000s (23 months x 30 days x 24 hours x 60 minutes x 60 seconds).
Example: 23M
