If you installed a certificate on WLC it will eventually expire. If not, if the certificate you are using is the factory installed, then, it will not expire.

Take a look at the SECURITY tab, ander Web auth and Certificate on the top right hand side there´s a bottom "Regenerate Certificate".

The web admin cert is just for the https, but if you don't trust the root ca, then you will get a cert error when accessing the GUI. This is not a big deal to many people, but some will replace this with a trusted 3rd party certificate so that they don't see the certificate error. It's really up to you what you want, kind of a preference. Look at it as a website, you don't want to access your bank website that shows a certificate error? Do you really care however, when you are accessing the controller from your internal network?

There should be a 'Regenerate Certificate' button at the top right. I've just checked as ours needs updating before too long.
