Overview
Catchpoint offers SSL testing and one of the important attribute of testing SSL is "Valid to" that highlight the number of days remaining until a certificate's expiration date.
This countdown is dynamic and updates as the certificate approaches its 'Valid To' date.
Certificate Information in API(JS)/Object Tests
When running an API (JS) or Object test, the certificate information is displayed under the header section, including the 'Days to Expiration' field. This field dynamically updates to reflect the number of days remaining until the certificate expires.
Expiration Updates
Once a certificate expires, the system updates the records/headers to highlight the validation period, showing the number of days left or the number of days past the expiration date.
Example
You are viewing the SSL test data on 10th November and your certificate expires on 10th December.
All the records (For all the months) on this day will show days to expiration as 30 days.
- A record from October 10th will show 30 days left.
- A record from September 10th will also show 30 days left.
Similarly the "Days to Expiry" (Available in the API JS and Object Tests) value updates as the expiration date gets closer or has already passed.
Now considering that the certificate expired on December 10th, And you are viewing the any record on December 11th it will show -1, indicating the certificate has expired a day ago and so on.
