Renewing Client Certificates on Devices
You cannot extend the expiration dates of existing client certificates.
When you want to continue using Client Certificate Authentication, reissue a client certificate and install it on the devices again.
Expiration date of client certificate
The client certificate is valid for a maximum of 3 years. The expiration date of a client certificate is based on the time zone of the administrator who issued the certificate.
When a client certificate has expired, users can no longer access cybozu.cn.
However, users might still be able to access the services during the session's lifetime because Safari iPhone version keeps the cache of the session.
When the Client Certificate Is within Its Validity Period
Issue a new client certificate for a user while keeping the user's current client certificate valid, and install the new client certificate on their device again.
