Hi,

> certificate validation value in engine-setup
Do you mean expiration date on CA generated by ovirt?
Then I would look at (copied from bugzila):

But changing files provided by the package has its own issues.

Rerunning setup-engine does not affect guest vms. It can ask you to 
restart/reload ovirt-manager (to read a new cert) but it should not cause any 
disruption to guest vms. Only user's/admins would need to relogion to webui.
