Check SSL/TLS Certificate

Verify a domain's TLS certificate from the cellular network, including expiry.

Fetch and inspect the TLS certificate a domain serves, as seen from the mobile network: issuer, subject, validity dates, time before expiry. Catch an expiring certificate before your users do, and detect interception (a certificate that differs on the cellular path).

Parameters

ParameterRequiredDescription
Domain nameYesThe domain whose certificate to check.

Plus the shared connection settings.

Results and metrics

In the action report (result), for the certificate chain:

FieldDescription
expire_in_secondsTime remaining before expiry. The field to alert on.
not_before, not_afterValidity window.
issuer, subjectWho issued the certificate and for whom (common name, organization, country...).
signature_algorithm, public_key_algorithmCryptographic algorithms in use.
fingerprint_sha_256, fingerprint_sha_1, serial_numberCertificate identity, to detect substitution.
dns_namesThe domains the certificate covers.
certificate_errorAny validation error encountered.

In Analytics, each run feeds the certificate measurement with expire_in_seconds, the issuer and subject details, fingerprints, and duration_seconds, tagged by status, domain name, certificate error, and algorithms. Alert on expire_in_seconds to get ahead of renewals.
