To renew a certificate on an ASA box.

[sanjay.nadarajah]

Hi,

I have a website that its certificate is renewing very soon on the ASA 5540 box. The certificate is with Verisign.

I would like to check what are the steps to renew this certificate on the ASA box ?

I have got this link :-

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6120/products_configuration_example09186a00808b3cff.shtml

but want to know if I need to generate the CSR file or would Verisgn use the existing CSR file to generate the .pem file.

Pls advise,

Cheers,

Hi Sanjay,

You'll need to generate a new CSR. This link should help walk you through the process:

ASA 8.x: Renew and Install the SSL Certificate with ASDM:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6120/products_configuration_example09186a00809fcf91.shtml

This procedure does not
      impact your network as long as the current certificate is not deleted. This
      procedure is a step-by-step process on how to issue a new CSR for a current
      certificate with the same root certificate that issued the original root
      CA.

Hope that helps.

Hi Mike,

Thank you . I would like to know how to do the certification renewal via the CLI ? as I believe that this ASA box is not setup to be used  with ASDM.

Thank you.
