MariaDB SQL request to list certificates expiration dates

[XOF83]

Hello,

I cannot extract the list of certificates expiration dates with HeidiSQL.
I would like a report like in the certificate tab of XCA (expiry date column)

Thank you in advance.
best regards.

Hi I have the same wish. Someone could tell me how I can read from the DB the expiration date?

The expiry date is not stored explicitly in the database. You need to extract the certificate and pipe it through openssl.

$ sqlite3 xca.xdb "SELECT cert FROM view_certs where id=42" | base64 -d | openssl x509 -inform der -noout -enddate
notAfter=May 22 16:08:00 2026 GMT

Alternatively you could use the XCA commandline to export the certificate information in an index file:

$ xca [email protected]/QMYSQL3:yourdbname --index=xca-index.txt

The index is used and specified by OpenSSL and documented here. It contains among others the serial, subject and expiry date.

Thanks, have a good day

So this works amazingly, but... on Windows there is always a dialog box that pops up and informs me the export was successful and expects me to click "OK". Even with the "--no-gui" option in use. Is there some way to make this quiet or pass the success message on the console?

You need to suppress import messages within the XCA software (settings). That should to the trick.
