Renewing a Certificate Manually
Follow these steps to manually renew a certificate.
Sign in to Next-Gen Trust Security.
Click Insights > Certificate Inventory > Certificates.
Click Renew.You can also open the certificate's details and click Renew.
In Renew certificate, select one of the following, and then click Continue:
Renew without changes: Requests a new certificate with the same properties, using a new key pair.
Renew without changes, reusing the existing CSR: Requests a new certificate from the original certificate signing request (CSR), so the key pair stays the same.
Renew with changes: Opens the Certificate Request wizard, prefilled from the existing certificate, so you can review or change its details.
The first two options are available only when Next-Gen Trust Security holds the original request and the certificate's private key. Otherwise, renew with changes.
Info (Validity period): Renewing without changes uses the validity period defined by the request policy.
If you chose Renew with changes, complete the Certificate Request wizard:
Select a Request policy.
(Optional) Select or create tags.
Click Continue.
Complete the request details as needed.
Click Finish.
When is Renew available?Renew is available for the current version of a certificate. Certificates issued through an ACME server or managed by Akamai renew through those systems instead. Inside a workspace, Renew is available for certificates the workspace holds and unassigned ones.
Are tags preserved when a certificate is renewed?Yes. Certificate metadata, including tags, is preserved when you renew a certificate.
Viewing Requests and Renewed Certificates
After submitting the renewal:
Go to Insights > Certificate Requests > 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 without changes, the previous certificate version is available on the Previous Versions tab of the certificate's details.
If you renewed the certificate using the wizard, both the new and previous certificates appear in the inventory.
What's Next
If the previous certificate is no longer needed, you can retire it.
