Re: Installing replacement certs

Yes, and it's hard by just looking at the descriptions if you have the
right CAs installed (the names are very obscure/meaningless). What I do is
try the main cert, and if it complains I import the CA chain certs one at a
time.

When you import the CAs it's like saying "Yes, you can trust certificates
that are signed by these authorities... so import the darn thing already!"
hah.. I think it should automatically import the CAs, but then again DCM
has always been hit and miss. The new version has a couple nice new
features and is FAST so that's good. :)

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.
