Our partner require a sha2 certificate with a 5 years valid period.

Default valid period is 22 years.

We can not find a way to set valid period with sapgenpse.

Anyone can help?

Thanks a lot.

Hi Peng,

For certificate generated by sapgenpse it is self-signed certificate. According to design of SAP Cryptographic Library, there is no way to set valid period, currently the expiration time is hard coded as 1 Jan 2038 00:00:01 GMT.

If you wish to have a certificate with 5 year valid period, I would suggest you use sapgenpse to create key then generate certificate request, then send this request to CA for sign.  In this way you could get certificate for a short time period.

Hope this information could help you!
