How to check certificate expiration date from API or CLI?

[juanochoa]

Hello all,

Do you know if it is possible to check certificate expiration date from API or CLI for Firewall and Panorama.

Ideally also get all the certificate details. I haven't found a way.

Thanks

@damom10 Thos certificates are managed/updated as part of PAN-OS, they are not part of the configuration unlike the other types of certificates mentioned previously in this thread.

Thanks Jummy.

Any idea how best to approach creating a solution to grab those certificates and check for expiry. I'm using PowerShell and API at the moment but it seems like API isn't going to help me?

Maybe I need to use python?

@damom10 Is there a reason why you want to check expiry of the CAs? How are you using them, why do you need to check them? In most use cases they are there to act just like the trusted CA list in your web browser, and I presume you would not check these, you expect your browser to manage them, and you expect PAN-OS to manage them too?

Hi Jimmy,

thanks for your response.

I had a senior network engineer tell me we have several that are important for our VPN. But I am curious, if there is no need to monitor these, then I will mention it to him. If these generally manage themselves, then it sounds like there isn't a monitoring requirement.

Thanks, Jimmy. 

That's how I got what I wanted.  

1 - Get SSL/TLS service profiles   
https://{{PaloaltoIP}}/api/?key={{key}}&type=config&action=get&xpath=/config/shared/ssl-tls-service-profile

2 - Get all certificates 
https://{{PaloaltoIP}}/api/?key={{key}}&type=config&action=get&xpath=/config/shared/certificate

3 - Get a certificate by it's name 
https://{{PaloaltoIP}}/api/?key={{key}}&type=config&action=get&xpath=/config/shared/certificate/entry[@name='cert-name']

4 - If certificate name is not important 
https://{{PaloaltoIP}}/api?key={{key}}&type=op&cmd=<show><sslmgr-store><config-certificate-info></config-certificate-info></sslmgr-store></show>
