SSL Certificate expired...

[Paul Edson]

I have used the PKIDIAG utility to re-instate my expired SSL certificate - Public key on my NetWare 6 (edir 8.6.2)....is this the correct way to do this? And why is it expiring after 2 years....? All my servers were establish around the same time, so each of them are coming up on expiration of the SSl Cert----we only get a 2 year deal on this?

that is the default time for a certificate. You can either renew them using PKIDIAG,
or you can manually create them with C1 and make them good for longer...

Can you make them good for longer than 2 years?

I think you can if you manually create one - here is an old TID I wrote
on it

It is the easiest to restart your server.
