Certificate Valid Date Range

Hello,

Is it possible to create a certificate that is valid for 2, 3, 5 years?
I've been able to create a certificate valid for 1 year, but don't see
any options on Makecert or the local CA for extending the time. Any
pointer would be appreciated, or if I'm out in left field for wanting
to do such a thing, that would be nice to know too. :-)

Duane.

Hello Duane,

if you are using W2K3 Enterprise CA - you can create new certificate templates
- certtmpl.msc IIRC -

there you can configure every property of a cert including expiration time.

For makecert, either the -m or -e options should help. (Run makecert -! to
see descriptions for these and other "advanced" options.)

For a Windows CA, you need to edit the certificate template in order to
change the validity period.

Certificate templates is what I was looking for. Thanks for the
pointers.
