We developed IOT based devices which connects to Watson IOT Platform ; we intend to use SSL Certificates. The devices are based on GPRS and would be installed at remote location. Remote Certificate Updates are not possible.
Now as I read, SSL certificates expire in 3 years. In such case, would the certificate be still valid while communicating with IBM Watson IOT Cloud server.
Currently in our test environment, we are using self-generated certificates and it is working fine.
Can someone share what would actually happen with an expired certificate configured in our devices?
Thanks
most certainty the certificates will stay expired and your device won't be able to reconnect. You would need to renew or replace them in order to stay connected.
