Monitor and alert on expiring SFG/B2Bi certificates and keys

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Control Center already provides monitoring and alerting on certificates used in SSP and C:D. SFG transfers using protocols such as FTPS, AS/2, and EBICS also rely on certificates with SFTP transfers relying on SSH keys to secure them. Where SFG is encrypting/decrypting secure transfers protected with PGP these use keys that also expire. CCM should provide visibility of these with alerts as certificates/keys approach their expiry date (or since B2Bi does not offer expiry dates for SSH keys then this should be based on a configurable age from the creation date of the key) and provide reports on expiring certs/keys to facilitate timely renewals. Alerts could also be integrated with PEM to trigger renewal activities with 3rd parties.
