If the Common Name in a certificate is, e. g. abcde.com, but the Web server’s URL is in fact www.abcde.com, no match is achieved.

Wildcard matches host name

Compares the wildcard used in a certificate to represent a Common Name to the host name. So, e. g. the wildcard expression *.ccc.de matches www.ccc.de.

If a match is achieved, the configured action will be executed.

Certificate is expired for more than ... days

Checks if a certificate has expired. If more than the number of days config- ured here have elapsed since expiration of the certificate, the configured action will be executed. A grace period may allow the use of the certificate even after it has expired.

Enter the desired number of days in the input field provided with this option.

Certificate is revoked

Checks if a certificate has been revoked. For this purpose, the Certificate Revocation List (CRL) is used. If the certificate has been revoked, the configured action will be executed.

Revocation status is unresolvable

The reason why the revocation status is unresolvable could be that the cor- responding certificate authority or the path leading to the Certificate Revo- cation List (CRL) is not known.
