US Patent 12132722 Certificate management system with forced certificate renewal

Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for a certificate management system with forced certificate renewal are disclosed. The certificate management system may receive a request to renew a digital certificate. The request may be received at a selected time prior to an automatic renewal date for the certificate, and the automatic renewal date may be stored by the certificate management system. The certificate management system may acquire, based at least in part on the request to renew the certificate, a renewed certificate from a certificate authority. The renewed certificate may be obtained prior to the automatic renewal date. The renewed certificate may be exported from the certificate management system and bound to a computing resource (e.g., a server) prior to the automatic renewal date.
