CAcert expiration notices

The CA known as CAcert provides certificate expiration notices that are easy and simple to follow. Here's  notice sent that shows various details

cert SN#

etc...





They are a free CA but for the most part not trusted by any well-known  OSes. Where they shine at ;

  • if you have a low experienced  CA team, CAcert could help with certificate signing for self-sign certificate
  • Great for lab and testing 
  • Great for  understanding the CSR and the  resulting Certificates that's generated
  • simple interface  for cert-management
  • great for POC ( proof-of-concept )
  • great for budget  users that just need any ole certificate ;)
