Re-Keying an SSL Certificate

rigister now!  
Re-keying is the process of replacing an existing SSL certificate. The main reasons to consider re-keying your SSL certificate are:
Loss of your private key
Compromise of your private key
Changing hosting providers
Changing the server the certificate is installed on
Recovering from a server crash
If you bought your certificate from Go Daddy, you can have it re-keyed at no cost..
 To re-key a Go Daddy SSL Certificate:
  • Go to the Go Daddy Web site and log in to your Account Manager.
  • In the My Products section, select SSL Certificates.
  • Next to the certificate you want to manage, click Manage Certificate.
  • From the Filters list, click Certificates and then click the common name for the certificate you want to re-key. Copy the certificate details shown on the screen and use that exact data when creating a new CSR. Exact capitalization, punctuation and spacing are required. For Standard certificates the CSR details for City, State and Country are not critical.
  • Generate a new CSR.
  • After the new CSR is generated, return to the Secure Certificate Manager. From the screen where you copied your certificate details, click Re-Key.
  • Paste your server-generated CSR in the CSR field and click Re-Key.
  • Specify your server type and click the link to download the re-keyed certificate.
  • If you need a copy of the intermediate certificate, click Repository in the upper-right corner.
  • Install the re-keyed certificate on your Web server.

Note: The original certificate is automatically deactivated when the new one is issued. It is not necessary to request revocation of the old certificate.
