York_Wu , Shibu_Mammen The certificate used by the Cluster identity CLIUSR is a self-updating certificate.  Meaning, we will automatically renew it before expiration as long as you are using that certificate.  Failover Clustering does allow you to bring your own certificate if so desired; however, we will not auto renew it.  You would be responsible for renewing or updating it.
