Administration Certificate Management Renewal

Certificate renewal is a shortcut that allows you to generate an enrollment request based on the content of an existing certificate.

When you renew a certificate via SCEP, the new certificate does not automatically overwrite the original certificate. It remains in the Enrollment Request table until the administrator manually activates it. For more information on activating certificates, see the “Administration Certificate Management Activate or Re-Submit Status” section.

Use this screen to re-enroll or re-key a certificate. If you re-enrollthe certificate, the new certificate uses the same key pair as the expiring certificate. If you re-keythe certificate, it uses a new key pair.
