been updated, the job can collect a summary report of the certificates that have
been removed and send it to people who need to have this information. Typically,
you would want to send this notification to certificate issuing agents or the
administrator of the publishing directory.
Th
UnpublishExpiredJob
plug-in module is a schedulable job. When an instance
of the job is enabled, it gets activated at the configured interval and checks for
certificates that have expired and are still marked as published in the internal
database. The job connects to the publishing directory and deletes these certificates;
it then marks these certificates as unpublished in the internal database. The job also
collects a summary of expired certificates that it deleted and mails the summary to
one or more agents or administrators as specified by the configuration.
The job constructs the summary message by using a template located in a
configured directory. This directory has the following default location:
<server_root>/cert-<instance_id>/emails
You can configure the path and filename of the template file for each job. You can
also modify the templates to customize the contents and appearance of the
messages; see “Customizing Message Templates” on page 79.
Messages can be sent as HTML or plain text.
For each instance of the
UnpublishExpiredJob
class, you can configure the
following:
•
The schedule of times when the job will be run; see “Schedule for Executing
Jobs” on page 76.
•
Whether a summary will be compiled and sent.
If a summary is to be sent, you can configure the following:
•
The recipients of the summary message. These can be, for example,
administrators who are responsible for the publishing directory.
•
The sender of the summary message (who will be notified of any delivery
problems).
•
The file location a of the summary message template.
•
The file location of content and format of each item to be collected for the
summary.
•
The subject line of the summary message.
