Renewing a certificate manually
Follow these steps to manually renew a certificate.
- Sign in to Next-Gen Trust Security.
- Click Inventory > Certificates.
- Find the certificate you want to renew using filters, and then select the checkbox next to it.
- In the local menu bar, click Renew.
After you click Renew, either the Renew Certificate dialog or the Certificate Request wizard opens.
What determines which renewal option is shown?Next-Gen Trust Security shows the Renew Certificate dialog when the certificate can be renewed without changing its existing properties and associations.
In other cases, the Certificate Request wizard opens so you can review or update certificate details before completing the renewal.
Are tags preserved when a certificate is renewed?Yes. Certificate metadata, including tags, is preserved when you renew a certificate.
If you see the Renew Certificate dialog
To renew the certificate using the same properties, select No, just renew it, and then click Continue.
Info (Validity period): This option renews the certificate using the validity period defined by the issuing template.
If you want to change certificate details, select Yes, I want to make changes, and then click Continue to open the Certificate Request wizard.
If you see the Certificate Request wizard
Certificate information from the existing certificate is pre-filled.
On the Certificate Request screen:
- Select the Application to associate with the renewed certificate.
- Select an Issuing template.
- (Optional) Select or create tags.
- Click Continue.
- Complete the request details as needed.
- Click Finish.
Viewing requests and renewed certificates
After submitting the renewal:
- Go to Inventory > Certificate requests to view the request status.
- When the request status is Issued, select the certificate to view its details.
If you renewed the certificate using No, just renew it, the previous certificate version is available on the Previous Versions tab.
If you renewed the certificate using the wizard, both the new and previous certificates appear in the inventory.
What's next
You can assign the renewed certificate to an application or a machine.
You can also download the certificate for installation.
If the previous certificate is no longer needed, you can retire it.
