Research direction

Start by reviewing vcert's existing certificate-management commands and the webSDK certificate filters named in the issue, including expiration day, issuer, and DN wildcards. Define the retrieval command's scope and output from those existing capabilities; done means certificates can be listed for a zone using the requested filters and the result supports bulk renewal logic.

Description

enhancement

BUSINESS PROBLEM
bulk certificate renewal for our Network load balancers. We still require going through UI to 'see' certificates in question. we'd like to export certificate data from the zone to apply renewal logic

PROPOSED SOLUTION
vcert offers almost the entire certificate management operation (create a zone, generate cert, download it, renew it, revoke and remove. however, there is no easy way to list certificates in a specific zone. It would be helpful should vcert allow 'certinfo' command to retrieve certificate data based on filters available with webSDK (expiration day, issuer, DN wild cards, and so on).

CURRENT ALTERNATIVES
use webSDK calls or UI
