Viewing SSL server certificates

You can view information about SSL server certifications

About this task

Each SSL server certificate contains this information:

  • The expiration date. The default trusted roots that come with Domino® do not have expiration dates.
  • The distinguished name of the server that requested the certificate.
  • The distinguished name of the CA that signed the certificate.
  • The size of the public key. The size determines the strength of the encrypted public key.
