Comment on Decreasing Certificate Lifetimes to 45 Days
LordKitsuna@lemmy.world 6 hours agoCan you not just setup an nginx reverse proxy at the network edge to handle the ssl for the domain(s) and not have to worry about the app itself being setup for it? That’s how I’ve always managed all software personal or professional

Unfortunately some apps require the certificate be bound to the internal application, and need to be done so through cli or other methods not easily automated. We could front load over reverse proxy but we would still need to take the proxy cert and bind to the internal service for communication to work properly. Thankfully that’s for my other team to figure out as I already have a migration plan for systems I manage.

Why can’t you just have a long lived internally signed cert on your archaic apps and LE at the edge on a modern proxy? It’s easy enough to have the proxy trust the internal cert and connect to your backend service that shouldn’t know the difference if there’s a proxy or not.
Or is your problem client side?
