You can monitor certificate expiry dates for Horizon Cloud and Horizon 8 Edge components to help ensure the security and availability of your environment. The following table describes which certificates are used by each component, who manages them, and where their expiry information is available.
Important:
- Certificates managed by Omnissa - the exact expiration date is displayed.
- Certificates managed by your organization - the system might display only the status (for example, Valid or Expired) depending on the information that can be retrieved.
