Re: is a self signed certificate always invalid the first time

Obviously you do not use clustered environments with more than one node per service. Else you would not call it "it just works", because in fact the renewal is quite big bs as one node must do the job while all the others must be _offline_.

I'm not sure how you have set up your clustered service, but why do your nodes have to go offline? If these other nodes are using an older certificate, it should still work as the previous/renewed certificate usually have overlapping active begin/expiration dates.
