Tricky certification request procedure help
Hi,
I have a customer in which they need to renew certificates in iis.
This time they want me to do the request.
So, what is the relevant procedure for this? Since it is a renewal, should i asked which cert authority they have used? Or can i create the request without that information?

But is it important to know the certification auth to do this?
Can/Should i extract any information from the existing certs? Or is it not relevant?
This is just for SSL btw.

If you are actually doing a Renewal then you need to use the same 3rd party SSL provider that originally assigned the certificate. If this is not a true renewal and you have to re-generate a new CSR then you do not need to use the same SSL provider.

Thanks. Is it possible to extract this information from the current certificates?

Thanks. A final question, once i see the authority, should i follow the instructions for Renewal? And if the instructions are missing, is there any generic renewal request for windows that i should follow?
And as a bottom line, this renewal request is actually not different than an initial request?

For a renewal request without creating a new CSR you will need to contact the 3rd Party SSL provider directly and this is done on there send.
In the event that they need the CSR this is basically stated the entrie process over again.
