SSLBoard - Frequently Asked Questions
Is SSLBoard an uptime monitoring tool?
No, SSLBoard is not yet another uptime monitoring tool.
It is a tool for auditing your SSL certificates and helping you understand your SSL configuration. Certificates can be used or unused, or deployed to multiple hosts, and hosts can use multiple certificates, they can have multiple IPs and ports! Without a proper too, you can't really understand how your certificates are used. SSLBoard makes it easy to understand your whole SSL configuration.
Do I have to add every host in my organization to SSLBoard?
No, you will only need to give us your domain names, and SSLBoard will automatically find all the hosts and IPs for you.
We can't guess the hostnames when you're using wildcard certificates though, so you'll have to add those manually, as well as TCP ports if you're using non-standard ports. You'll be set in minutes.
Will I receive alerts every time a certificate expires or is renewed?
No, SSLBoard will only notify you for certificate that are actually used, cutting the noise and keeping you focused on the important stuff.
When everything is working fine as expected, you won't receive any alerts.
How does SSLBoard handle my data and respect my privacy?
SSLBoard is using exclusively data that is publicly available through Certificate Transparency logs, and TCP/TLS requests.
We do not collect any sensitive data, and we do not profile you or your organization.
We do however send requests to your servers to see which certificates they're serving and if they're set up correctly.
