If your SSL cert becomes compromised or if you want to transfer the certificate to another server you can.
If the servers are not compatible for what ever reason you can revoke the certificate and renew it by submitting a new CSR and receiving a new response. I have done this with Verisign, but not Geotrust, but I am sure they will have some way of doing it. Search Geotrust's help files for how to do it. -----Original Message----- From: Josh Nathanson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 01, 2006 2:32 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: OT: Security Cert, transferable? Hey all, Is is possible to transfer a security cert issued by a certifying authority such as GeoTrust from one host to another? From what I can gather, it's not possible because the CSR and private key are specific to the host they're generated by, and these are used by the certifying authority to generate the public cert. But, I'm not sure I have a full grasp on how it all works. Here's my understanding: - Generate CSR and private key at the host - Send private key to certifying authority - Purchase cert, certifying authority issues public certificate based on private key - I install public certificate at my host, all three components must be there: CSR, Private Key, Public cert Do I have this correct or am I missing something there. -- Josh ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:248540 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
