Maximum Validity For Certificates

You can configure expiration period for Certification Template. By default there are default maximum validation periods set to:

  • One year for Stand-alone Certification Authority
  • Two years for Enterprise Certification Authority

This means you have Certification Template set its validity for example for 10 years, but you can enroll certificates with validity 1 or 2 years (Stand-alone / Enterprise Certification Authority).

This can be changed via registry keys described in KB254632.

Thank you for my colleague Róbert Švec.
