Since Connect Direct Web Services (CDWS) is a component of Connect Direct and uses certificates for securing connections to the Connect Direct, there needs to be a way to receive warnings when a certificate is due to expire from Control Center.  Our shop is looking into replacing Connect Direct Browser UI with CDWS.  We need to be aware as to when a certificate used in CDWS is due to expire.
