alt Hacker NewsSSL officially became TLS in 1999 when the Internet Engineering Task Force published TLS 1.0 as RFC 2246. TLS 1.0 was designed as an upgrade to SSL 3.0, addressing security vulnerabilities and making several improvements, but the changes were significant enough to prevent interoperability between SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0
It seems a bit silly to call a new tool an SSL manager?

unfortunately outside tech circles, most people still refer to it as SSL or HTTPS. They dont know about the intricacies of the changes involved

You can’t fight mindshare. Naming is branding, not a ruleset.
Maybe think of it as “SSL certs” the thing uses TLS x.0 standard.
Too many people will say “what?” if you call it TLS cert management. Or worse, they will ignore it because it doesn’t trip the synapses.
