certificate

Hi, If I want to renew a wild card Certificate ( the key is the same ) ,Is it ok just overwriting ? Or import as new and assign to the profile ? Is there any other pros and cons ?   Thanks

Hello bluestar007,

 

it's recommended for security purposes to create a new CSR to generate a new private key rather than using the old key and renew the certificate itself.you can stick with the old one, and it isn’t necessarily unsafe, although the fresh key would always be safer all things being equal.
