I have never tried it with an expired cert but have you tried to change 
the end date in the expired cert yet to see if that fixes your problem. 
When creating certs I always change the expire date to something way out 
there so I do not have problems.

Re: SSL certificate renewal

Yes - all my users receive the certificate, and that is why I had hoped to
renew it with the same key, so I would not have to send out a new cert to
all the users.  It's looking more like I will have to generate a new
certificate and send it out.
