Pokud je potřeba vytvořit žádost, která obsahuje stejná data jako aktuální certifikát, není problém – na IIS se proces prokliká.

Ovšem pokud je v žádosti třeba něco modifikovat (např. se změnil vlastník domény nebo jeho název), je potřeba vygenerovat žádost s novými údaji a to IIS neumí – nabízí pouze certifikát odebrat a to nechceme. Řešení spočívá ve vytvoření dočasné website, ke které žádost vytvoříme, návod je uveden na serveru Thawte pod kódem vs32621.

To work around this problem without having to ‚remove‘ the existing certificate from your web site, do the following:

1. In IIS right click the ‚Default Web Site‘ and click on ‚New–>Site‘

2. Create a new site. You can give it a temporary name.

3. Right click on this new site and go to ‚Properties–>Directory Security–>Server certificate‘

4. Select ‚Create a new certificate‘ and follow the wizard to create a new CSR, please refer to the following solution: vs27731

5. Backup the Private Key file – very important, if no backup is made and the Private Key is lost, the certificate issued will not work. The Private Key backup instructions can be found in the following solution vs22515

6. When you receive the certificate back, right click on this temporary site and go to ‚Properties–>Directory
Security–>Server certificate‘ and follow the wizard to ‚process the pending request‘

7. Once the certificate has been installed, right click on the site where the certificate should go and click ‚Properties–>Directory Security–>Server certificate‘

8. Select the option, ‚Replace the current certificate‘

9. You will then be able to select the certificate that you have just installed

10. Once installed we strongly advise you to make a backup of your certificate with its corresponding private key. View Solution vs22528
