Hi Danny_Arroyo,

When you click the Renew button, a new csr file is generated with the existing key.

If you want a different key file:

  • Create new key and csr files from the menu:

System > Certificate Management > Traffic Certificate Management : SSL Certificate List > New SSL Certificate...

  • Get the signed SSL certificate from the Authority.
  • Create pfx file with the certificate and key file.
  • Overwrite the pfx file (new certificate and key) with the existing files.

System > Certificate Management > Traffic Certificate Management : SSL Certificate List > Import

Import Type: PKCS 12

Certificate and Key Name: Overwrite Existing
