• Paste the URL in a browser and send the request

• You should see the output of the function in the browser similar to the one shown below.

• You should see the output of the function in the logs window similar to the one shown below.

• Please ensure that there are no errors in the log. If there are errors, the function is misconfigured and certificate renewal will fail.

• Wait a few minutes and check the RCL SSL Portal to see if the certificate was renewed.

The ‘Certificate-Schedule-Renewal-Automatic’ function will run on a weekly basis and automatically renew certificates that are about to expire. There is no need to manually run the ‘Certificate-Schedule-Renewal-Manual’ function apart from manual testing.

Ensure you add the certificates you want to automatically renew in the Environmental variable when you Configure the function.

The function will run once a week and automatically renew the certificates 14 days before the expiration date.
