SECURING


Renewing expired certificates

After a certificate expires, you can no longer use it to communicate with servers and clients. If you obtained a server certificate from a third-party certificate authority, you may be able to renew it by submitting a request to the third-party CA's Web site, which often includes your user name, password, and a challenge phrase. If it is possible to renew your server certificate, this information is accepted and you will be prompted to renew. If you cannot renew your server certificate, you will have to submit a request for a new one.
