Re: [cobalt-developers] Certificate tools on raq 4

[Herb Rubin <herbr@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

I answered my own question by going into Thawte's online chat room.
Here's a handy perl script to view the expiration date of a digital certificate
on Raq 4:

#!/usr/bin/perl
# Check date of a virtual site's digital certificate
#
# usage: checkcert www.domain.com

$certfile = "/home/sites/$ARGV[0]/certs/certificate";
foreach $line (split /\n/, `openssl x509 -noout -text -in $certfile`) {
  $expiration =  $1 if ($line =~ /Not After : (.*)$/);
}

print "$expiration\n";
