Hello,
I'm using the Okta Verified Application for Akamai Enterprise Application Access to get started. I follow the steps on screen since they're pretty straight forward. The issue I'm having is when I import the Certificate information from the metadata URL into Akamai. I get the following error: "Certificate expiration date cannot exceed the limit of 5 year(s) from now." Is there a way I can change the expiration date of the Certificate?

Hello Bryan,
The ccertificate itself cannot be edited, but there is a workaround to this: what needs to be done is that you will need to obtain a certificate with an under 5 years validity period, and upload that cert both to Akamai and to the Okta app configuration, as outlined on the below article:

Hello Stefan,
2 questions...
1) You mentioned obtaining an certificate under 5 years validity period, I'm assuming you requested that certificate thru Okta?
2) Can you resend the link to the article you mentioned, its missing from your response.
