Horizon Connection Server - Broker-* certs

We have 4 horizon connection servers the have the following certs:

Broker-SSO & Broker-RESTAuth which are set to expire next week on Feb. 7.

My question is do these (Broker-* certs) re-generate prior to the expiry date?

 

I have a case open and still waiting to hear back.  I did find a couple of threads that say yes (to auto-renew) but getting a tad nervous on this one.

Is this still the case ?

@Knothead00 

I'm assuming they auto-renew. I've never had to renew those certificates ever before.

From vmware support:  The Broker-RESTAuth and Broker-SSO are self-signed SSO certificates created when the service starts up. The view connection server uses the certificate to generate and verify JWT token, the JWT token is used as a SSO between different applications in the view connection server, such as admin console and helpdesk.
