Certificates

Each environment has a unique certificate used by the Identity Provider. FoxIDs creates an automatically renewed self-signed certificate by default, and you can change the certificate container type when another certificate lifecycle is required.

There are two different certificate container types:

Renewed self-signed certificates (default)

  • Automatically created self-signed certificates.
  • Each certificate is valid for three months.
  • A replacement is created 10 days before expiry and promoted to the primary certificate five days before expiry.

Self-signed or uploaded certificates

  • Use an automatically created self-signed certificate or upload your own certificate.
  • Certificates in this container are not renewed automatically.

Open Certificates in the environment to view the primary certificate, copy or download the public certificate, and change the container type.
