[keycloak-dev] Introduction and Opening Discussion about [KEYCLOAK-7043] Certificate Expiration Notification Feature

[Benjamin Berg]

Hi Keycloak Developers,

I'm Benjamin Berg, I'm an Associate Software Applications Engineer, have
recently joined a team that utilizes Keycloak and just about a week ago, I
submitted a pull request introducing a new feature into Keycloak.  Inside
that pull request on GitHub, I had received a comment from "stainst" to
come onto this mailing list and open a discussion.  So I thought I'd
introduce myself and send you some information about the feature (info down
below) I had developed.  I appreciate getting any feedback and I hope you
all like this new addition!

==========================================

*-Problem-*
Certificates in the realm(s) and client(s) expire quietly.
*-Solution-*

notification if they are about to expire (or have already expired).
