These are help strings for cert-find options.
"Valid not before", "Issued on", etc. are terms for the validity dates 
of a certificate. So "Valid not after from this date" means that the 
certificate's ending date ("not after") is on or after the given day.


Here is the full help for context:

$ ipa cert-find --help
Usage: ipa [global-options] cert-find [options]

Search for existing certificates.
