Open HTTPS connections during SSL cert overwrite
An CA SSL cert & key were imported for use in SSL offloading and are working. The CA cert is nearing the expiration data. The plan is to import and overwrite the old cert and key with a new cert and key. Question is what happens to open connections when the cert is overwritten? Do they complete normally or are they dropped/terminated? I am trying to determine if an outage will occur requiring a maintenance window. Or, hopefully, this can be done during low traffic. Would replacing only the cert and leaving the key change the behavior?
