Re: Installing replacement certs

It was far from clear to me why they were needed as (as far as I could tell) the root certs were already installed and had been in use for 12 months. But something must have changed on the part of the cert authority as the new cert would not install until I had added the two new CA certs from the bundle.

Well, he did say most of the CAs were already there, so maybe that's the
case. I know the last certs I've imported the CAs were already there so no
importing of CAs required and the "bundle" imported just fine. :)

Agreed - in fact it errors out if you try.

But then I have no idea how Pete gets it to accept a bundle file in the
first place. It ust rejects it for me.

Using DCM? I've never been able to import a server cert if the CAs

aren't

already there.

Interesting....I just import the bundle, remembering the "bundle" is the
cert plus the intermediates (three certs in my case). The LetsEncrypt
CA root is already present (most CA roots are already in DCM).

I always just use the same csr since it only needs to be created once,
unless your server key changes, or the key length is changed....most of
my csr's haven't changed in years.

The only place I got tripped up in the past when when I imported and
forgot to choose "Server or Client" and "Automatically renewed
certificate". But I have fully automated the LetsEncrypt renewals with
DCM now so I don't have to do a manual import except in rare

occasions.....

OK - I just used copy/paste to create the individual certs.

Thanks for the help it is all working now.
