expires

One of my friend is working on issue related to updating expired digital certificates.

He is working on Java application(Swings I guess), which has 4000 clients. All those need a digital certificate to connect to the application and this certificate expires every year. At the end of year he needs to update the certificate credentials for all clients. Currently this is manual process, done by connecting to each of 4000 systems either locally or by remote connection.

He is got task to convert this process to be an automated process.

Please suggest some solutions.
