Subject: [PATCH proxmox 03/16] tls-certificates: add self_signed_cert_expires_in to check certificates
Date: Thu, 30 Jul 2026 15:31:45 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260730133158.418015-4-s.sterz@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260730133158.418015-1-s.sterz@proxmox.com>
this is useful when self-signed certificates are in use. it
heuristically checks whether a certificate is self-signed by the
specified node and returns for how many more days the certificate is
valid if it is a self-signed certificate.
