[opensuse] SSL Certificate question
This is probably a dumb question but here goes. A year ago I made a private key, and generated a csr for signing. Got a certificate good for one year. Question one. Is it technically possible to use that same private key to generate a new csr for signing again now? Question two. If so, is it advisable to use the same private key, or better to generate a new private key now? Many thanks, Jim F -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Should be possible.

It is not necessary to exchange the old private key in my eyes. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
