Configurable Settings

Setting NameDetails
Renewal DaysThe number of days before certificate expiration that AutoInstall SSL will install a new certificate.   Recommended setting is 28 days.
Reissue DaysFor multi-year SSL certificate orders, the number of days before certificate expiration that AutoInstall SSL will install a new certificate.   Recommended setting is 28 days.
Auto Reissue DaysWhen this option is enabled, AutoInstall SSL will proactively reissue and install your certificate every X days (even if it’s not nearing expiration).   Allowed values: 0 (disabled), 30, 60, 90, 120. Recommended setting is 0, which disables this feature.
Auto UpdateThis specifies whether the AutoInstall SSL agent should automatically check for and install updates to the agent software.   Recommended setting is “Yes” to ensure your agent stays up-to-date and compliant with changing SSL/TLS industry standards. Disabling auto-updates increases the risk of a certificate expiration (in cases where SSL/TLS industry standards introduce breaking changes, an outdated agent would not be able to renew/update an expiring certificate).
