Certificate expires soon

Explanation

Servers and clients use certificates to establish communication that uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS). Certificates are issued with an expiration date that indicates how long the certificate remains valid. This message is first shown when QRadar® determines that the certificate that is used for SAML authentication is set to expire within the next 14 days. The message is shown again at specific intervals that lead up to the expiration date.

User response

Select one of the following options:

• If you are using the QRadar_SAML certificate that is provided with QRadar, renew the certificate.
• If you are using a 3rd-party certificate, add a certificate.

If the certificate expires before you renew it or add a new one, QRadar cannot communicate with the SAML authentication server, and users can't log in.

For more information, see SAML single sign-on authentication in the IBM® QRadar Administration Guide.
