Expressway Server Certificate Renewal

Richard Pidcock

I have a scenario where I'm needing to update the server certificate on my Expressway Edges.  The existing GoDaddy certs will expire in October.   I have the renewed certificates from Go Daddy.  I just had them renewed, I did not generate a new CSR.  Is that appropriate; can I just upload the new .PEM file and select the check box for "Re-use my current private key".

Yes, but with a note that I actually never done this myself. I always create a CSR when renewing any certificate. That said the outlined process should technically be sound as the private key should remain the same as you have not created a CSR.

Have  you received the renewed certificate, with the private key. I’ve had customers renew their certificates without a CSR, where they provide the private key, and I upload both the certificate and the private key for renewal. In this case, a CSR is not required.

If you haven’t received a private key, try the option to reuse the private key. If there’s any mismatch, the new certificate won’t be uploaded, and you’ll need to generate a CSR and get it signed.

Thanks guys for the feedback.  I'm planning to upload the renewed certificate tonight so I'll let you know how it goes.

Hey guys, just coming back to this a few days later to let you know that things went as expected.  I applied the renewed certificate, checking the box for "Re-use my current private key".  Certificate loaded without issue and all is well.  Thanks again for your help and feedback.
