SFDC Expired Certificate Notification
From time to time you may receive a message from [email protected] with the above subject, that reads something like this:
You have one or more certificates in your Salesforce org [....] that has expired. Please review the list below and visit Certificate and Key Management from Setup to make an update.
- SelfSignedCert_[...], Self-Signed, expires on [...]. This certificate has expired.
What does it mean?
A security certificate is used to prove the authenticity of a website. They need to be renewed at regular intervals for security purposes. Ensuring you have a valid security certificate enables other apps that interact with your Salesforce org (RightsZone) to trust it. Not updating the security certificate might mean that any 3rd party apps or integrations that you have set up no longer work.
What should you do?
The instructions on the link below show you how to create a new self-signed, certificate for your org.
We would suggest setting the expiry date for 1 year, and making certificate renewal an annual job.
