Hiya, With the upcoming reduction in HTTPS certificate lifespans, we are trying to automate certificate renewal wherever we can, including the InsightVM Security Console. The docs currently only describes [how to renew the certificate with the web GUI](https://docs.rapid7.com/insightvm/managing-the-security-console/). Does anyone know a way how to renew the certificate without the web GUI, with something like an API call for example? ---

We were also looking into doing this last year, and my previous TAM told us “there is no built-in way to automate the certificate rotation as that step needs to be performed on the console itself.” Hopefully Rapid7 will change this in the future ---

Well, that’s unfortunate. Thank you!
