I mean that's how it worked out, yeah.

When I left Xerox I specifically stated that I wanted to go back to the hospital system I was contracted to in a networking capacity. A recruiter just reached out for an enterprise network engineering position at that hospital system. Huh.

I don't think I'm interested, I really do love my present job, but it's kinda neat that actually happened.

Microsoft has republished the elgato stream deck plug-in, it works but they removed the record action which is sorta critical. I hope they will re-add it eventually. For some weird reason the volume controls seems to randomly fail to find the app in the speaker mixer but i blame electron for that.

A cert for a website expired 2 days ago. I notified someone on the project that it had yesterday just in passing, as I was in Digicert for something else.
Today I finally get a csr from the webhost, I quickly get it signed and send the person who contacted me the cert. No response.

Boss calls "What is this cert problem?" I explain that its a outside company, and I have sent the cert along. I wants it sent to another person as well. Sure thing, send to them.

20 minutes goes by: IT Director calls "What is the deal with this cert thing." I explain. Well who gets notified about these, I see 8 people (including him) are on the list.
"Well who is responsible for the cert?" I say the person who requested it, its their product, they should track that. But they don't get the alerts. Which ok, we can add them for this. But this is a hosted site by a vendor who is supposed to "handle everything." But apparently can't set a reminder in Outlook.

If it seems like I'm trying to dodge responsibility on this, you are right. Because I know they will find a way to tack this onto my job.

Expiring certs are a pet peeve of mine, absolutely preventable. While my support team has gotten better with this between a cert checker and reminders and another IT team starting to take this responsibility we still seem to drop one every 6 months or so.

Certs are a feature on my evaluation of new products/services, alongside SSO. If there's an unreasonable SSO tax or it's not supported, and cert renewal can't be scripted (also give me a really good reason why Let's Encrypt cannot be used) then I'm not interested. The Acme plugin for pfSense can authenticate against Azure as an enterprise app and create the DNS records needed to validate the cert before sending the renewal request and clearing up after itself, every three months. Why can't your commercial UTM box?

Ugh. I'm trapped in a form of cert hell with IBM support right now.

They can't figure out that I'm asking for where to install a client cert on an HMC. They keep sending me docs and videos on creating/installing a server cert.

IBM is turning off non-ssl access to their sites, which is a good thing. But we have Palo Alto proxies that do the mitm bit with SSL. So anything that does strict checking fails because there's a mismatch.

Sending the ticket back for the third time today. Maybe I'll get my point clarified enough before I'm ready to retire.

Sadly, most of the ones that seem to come up are for various appliances, or for whatever the gently caress the Avaya voice servers are doing.
I don't deal with enough actual servers or webhost to have any way of automating these.
The biggest issue we have with a lot of these is that these are internal servers that I'm purchasing certs for. We have a CA I can supposedly use, but its pretty old and doesn't seem to actually support current features in certs. There is a newer one, but for some reason the group responsible for it hasn't done a good job of pushing out the root certs for it.
Or maybe they have and just haven't told anyone.
