What's the certificate being used for (each certificate has OIDs, which dictate what it can be used for)?
If it's something like server authentication, then as long as you have an export inc the private key, then you can import that onto any other arbitrary machine without issues (at least as far as Windows is concerned - I can't speak for any other weird things that 3rd party apps might not like, but stuff like IIS or SQL Server or Exchange etc won't have problems) Cheers Ken ________________________________________ From: Jim Dandy [[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, 24 March 2009 2:37 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Certificate migration If I get a certificate and my server crashes, can a rebuild a machine with the same name and put the same certificate back on it or is there something special about that certificate that makes it so it will only work on that one installation?
