Hi Emeric,

Sure, have a look at the certexpire plugin, or the tkm_listener.

> Maybe using a cert_validator hook?

Different thing (it's called during the validation of individual
certificates, the authorize hook, on the other hand, after each or all
authentication rounds are finished) but could be used too depending on
the use case.  Examples may be found in the addrblock, coupling,
constraints and, of course, revocation plugins.

Regards,
Tobias
