g2n78 (g2n78) asked a question.
I was asked about what the process is when the SAML certificate for YardiOne expires. I didn’t know there was an expiration on the SAML. Can you tell me how to tell if/when the certificate expiration is for our instance? I was told the expiration is in the Okta SAML XML? Does it ever expire?
Thanks,
Mel
Hi there Melvin,
All certificates have an expiry date. The certificate can be downloaded from the Application's View setup instructions and as soon as you open it, it will show when it expires.
If the application is in Okta's OIN, the certificate will be renewed automatically.
If the application is a custom one created by you, a new certificate can be generated using and API tool called Postman and the following API call: {{url}}/api/v1/apps/{{app ID}}/credentials/keys/generate?validityYears={{number of years}} , where the application ID, can be found in the URL when selecting the application from the org, it should be similar to this: 0oa1pu1wbos76GCso356
It is located in the Apps API - Certificate Operations - Generate Certificate. You can download the calls from here: https://developer.okta.com/docs/reference/api/apps/#getting-started
Kind regards,
