Hi,

We are deploying x.509 certs to our macs for WiFi and VPN connectivity. One of the management tasks for me is to track the certificate expiration dates. I found the certtool however, I was wondering if anyone else has come up with a solution or better approach.

This should be handled by the CA, not the client. CAs know when issued certs expire and should send email notifications when renewal should occur soon.
