SSL Certificate Renewal

Unanswered SSL Certificate Renewal

    Hello,

    My existing SSL certificate has expired, and needed to be renewed. I've received my new cert, and imported to my server. I've tried a few different ways to replace my existing cert:

    - Import into local machine store, update IIS bindings. Update RD Gateway cert. Update SSTP binding.
    - Run Domain Config wizard, use existing cert, supply newly received cert PFX. Run repair on access anywhere.

    No matter which method used, while the new cert works for a day or 2, it eventually reverts to the machines self signed cert resulting in errors. I can't find an event that correlates to reverting certificates, so I'm at a real loss as to what's taking place.

    Any guidance on how to complete this scenario properly?

    Thanks,
    Tim

    I would run the Anywhere Access wizard and turn off RWA.

    Reboot.

    Run it again and import the new certificate from PFX.

    Thanks Robert, I'll give that a go. A reboot never hurt anyone ;)

    Have I missed the guidance on how to perform a cert renewal though? Would think this is a fairly common procedure.

    Thanks,
    Tim

    Guidance is few and far between right now.

    Best thing to remember is that the 'renewal' is essentially a term for the process, but not what you're doing.

    Im paraphrasing slightly, but the process is identical to purchasing a new SSL, it just happens to have the same name.

    So, you can go through the process here:

    No dice :( Cert still reverts to the servers self signed cert from my purchased SSL cert.

    Very strange...

    Hello Robert,

    I am exactly in the same situation as "tsull360". I have to renew my existing certificate from GoDaddy and I don't find any instructions how to do it. What is the exact procedure on how to renew an existing certificate using Anywhere Access wizards? Meanwhile, I have looked at your "RWA & SSL Configuration Decision-o-Matic" chart from your site (http://titlerequired.com/2013/02/06/manually-creating-a-certificate-request-windows-server-essentials-sbs/) and figured that my newly issued certificate has to be imported as a PFX file into W2k12srve. Is this correct? If so, how do I manage to get this PFX file from GoDaddy?

    Regards,

    Yves Leduc
