Automatic PKI certificate renewal: Simple and secure

The challenge

Since certificates have a limited validity period, they must be renewed before expiry to maintain their trusted status and avoid authentication interruptions.

Our solution

Appterix offers the ability to automatically renew PKI certificates before they expire. Administrators define the number of days after which renewal should begin. Users receive a pop-up notification when certificates are nearing renewal and can renew them quickly and securely using YubiKey enrollment.
