zHMC Certificate expiration of 10yrs is too long

The 10 year expiration certificate does not meet JPMC requirements as defined by ATCS-840 of a two year expiration period. We explained that we normally go through a CEC upgrade every 18 months – 2 years in which we upgrade the HMCs so it never reaches the 10 year expiration.

    Thank you for your quick response.

    If their HMC certificate is self-signed, they can regenerate the certificate themselves, using the certificate Management task, and specify the 2-year expiration. If the HMC certificate is CA signed, then they can specify in the certificate signing request what expiration they want for the CA to use (the CA can override their request but they can ask the CA not to). Please let me know if this doesn't help.

    The zHMC console, not the SE, they do not permit web access to the SE.

    Hello! And thanks for your submission! Can we get a clarification? Which certificate are you referring to -- the HMC certificate or the SE??
