Using CLI
Using CLI
To remediate the insufficient auto-renewal period for certificates in Azure using Azure CLI, follow these steps:
- Open Azure CLI on your machine.
-
Log in to your Azure account using the command:
az login -
Once you are logged in, select the subscription that contains the certificate you want to remediate using the command:
az account set --subscription <subscription_id> -
Check the current auto-renewal period of the certificate using the command:
az keyvault certificate show --vault-name <vault_name> --name <certificate_name> --query 'attributes.autoRenewalDaysBeforeExpiry'Replace<vault_name>with the name of the Key Vault where the certificate is stored and<certificate_name>with the name of the certificate. -
If the auto-renewal period is less than the desired period, update it using the command:
az keyvault certificate set-attributes --vault-name <vault_name> --name <certificate_name> --auto-renew-days <days>Replace<vault_name>and<certificate_name>with the appropriate values, and set<days>to the desired number of days before expiry when the certificate should be auto-renewed. -
Verify that the auto-renewal period has been updated using the command:
az keyvault certificate show --vault-name <vault_name> --name <certificate_name> --query 'attributes.autoRenewalDaysBeforeExpiry'This should return the updated auto-renewal period. -
Exit Azure CLI using the command:
exit
Using Python

- Import the necessary libraries:
- Authenticate to the Azure portal using the
DefaultAzureCredentialclass:

WebSiteManagementClientclass with the appropriate subscription ID and credential:
- Use the
web_client.certificates.getmethod to retrieve the certificate details:
- Check the
expiration_timeproperty of the certificate to see if it is within the desired auto-renewal period. If not, use theweb_client.certificates.create_or_updatemethod to update the certificate with a newexpiration_timevalue:
your_subscription_id, your_resource_group_name, your_certificate_name, desired_auto_renewal_date, and new_expiration_date) with your specific values.
