send certificate by mail on renew?
-
Dear all
The VPN on my pfsense uses a certificate that renews every few weeks automatically.
Is there a way to send the certificate by e-mail (as attachment) after every renewal automatically?
Kind regards

If the server certificate renews that wouldn't have to be loaded/updated on the client.
You only have to update the client if the CA itself changes or if the client also uses a certificate and it gets renewed.
You didn't say what type of VPN this was (IPsec? OpenVPN?) but the same is true of both.

Thank you, jimp.
You make a good point about no need to update the certificate on the client side. I'll investigate on that.
To complete the picture: its for an IPsec VPN with a LetsEncryptCertificate.

Then you probably have nothing to update on the client, the server will update itself and so long as the client can validate it against the CA, it's good. With LE, it's publicly trusted, so it doesn't need a manual addition of the CA on the client.
You should be OK as-is without any manual intervention.
