Hi Listusers,

some month ago I setup openca for testing purposes and created a root
certificate with a validity of exactly one year. I use that CA to enroll
SSL Client certificates for certificate based user authentication
against a Apache 2.0 Server. That works fantasticall well. Now the
validity of my root Certificate ends and I dont want to completely reset
the CA/RA.

The question is : Is it possible to simply create a new certificate
request from the existing root certificate, selfsing it, and install it
as new root certificate?
If yes :  I think I will have to install the new root certificate and
the crl on my Apache, but will my old SSL Client certificates still be
valid for authentification if I have two root certificates in my
ca-bundle file containing the same subject?

If this idea is possible, what is the easiest way to do that?

Thx in advance
