Re: Digital Certificate Manager renew GoDaddy Cert -- WEB400

The only reason to change is if you want to change the algorithm parameters, or an algorithm is no longer supported, or your certificate changes in some way (new SAN maybe). I have been using the same CSR's for years, primarily because it saves a step when generating those LetsEncrypt certs every 90 days....

Brad,

I was _advised_ to create a new CSR every year for security reasons but told it was not essential as the old CSR would still be valid.

I chose to create a new one.

Ah.. if it's a 5 year one then maybe. I know 3-4 years ago, though,
Namecheap said they can still sell 5 year certs, but you still need a new
CSR every year.

It surprised me as well. GoDaddy tells you it renewed. You login and
download the new cert file and import it. I do think there is like a 5
year limit on the original CSR but I'm pulling this from old memory.

I've never gotten a cert without a CSR.. Maybe Godaddy is different. I use
NameCheap.

years

at least in DCM. You just import the cert as you did the original and it
should work.

To renew, you usually do this:

1. In DCM, click renew certificate.
2. DCM generates a CSR
3. You go to the issuer of your cert and renew it, giving them the CSR
that DCM created.
4. Do some validation of ownership of the domain/property.
5. Get the cert from the issuer.
6. Import the cert into DCM.
7. Update any configs/app applications.
8. Restart server(s).

Using systemname:2006/dcm. GoDaddy sent us an email that our

certificate

was renewed. I downloaded 2 CRT files and a PEM.

I thought it would be as easy as finding the certificate and click

renew

and upload a new file. What is the process? When I click renew on the

cert,

it asks if its local or Internet. When I click Internet I'm setting up

a

whole new CA?

Any help/links would be appreciated. I finally found some IBM docs but

it's

for the old CM.
