Python script to get SSL Certificate information
Posted by kc on Sep 19th, 2008
Some time ago I needed an automated way to get the certificate DN, signing cert DN, and expiration date from a bunch of SSL web servers. I couldn’t find a free tool out there to do that, so I hacked up this script in python.
You provide it the IP address and it connects, retrieves the aforementioned information, and spits it out. There isn’t any error handling &etc, but I thought someone else might find it helpful. Or use it as a starting point for something more advanced.
It requires the M2Crypto library, since the built-in SSL library for python is SORELY LACKING in functionality.

Hey Man
That script would be so useful to me, can you email that to me if you still have it, it would save me a ton of time.
Cheers
