If I re-key a SSL certificate for a 2nd/backup server, does the original still work?
- by Matt
We have a production server with a wildcard SSL certificate. I'm in the process of creating a backup/failover server that will host the same domains, and therefore will also need the SSL certificate.
The certificate on the primary server was installed with the private key non-exportable, so I am unable to export the certificate for installation on the failover server.
My question then is - if I re-key the certificate from Go Daddy, does the original certificate installed on the primary server cease to be valid?
As an aside, the original (primary) server is IIS 6, the failover is IIS 7 (once the failover is operational, we'll likely upgrade the primary).
