Re: Wrestling with SSL Cert

[Jon Paris <jon.paris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All done thru DCM Pete.

I generated a new CSR because the IBM i DCM recommended it.

The new cert is from Comodo but purchased via NameCheap,

Is the "bundle" the file that is used to create the CA?

To renew a certificate, you really don't need a new keypair unless you are changing something about certificate.  The CSR just validates that you are who you say you are....but if DCM generated the CSR and NameCheap used it, then importing the cert shouldn't be an issue.  Perhaps NameCheap isn't a CA in the certificate store?  If not, you'll need to import it.
