Hi,
When a CSR is generated using the tools provided by the web servers
like IIS, Netscape etc., they store the generated private key in their
own proprietary format. When we get the certificate signed from the CA,
these servers accept the certificate and work fine. Now the question
arises when one wants to change his web server say from IIS to Apache or
something like that. When administrator tries to export the certificate
and key files, server creates the export file in it's proprietary
format. As the private key is stored in proprietary format, how
administrator can use the same certificate and key file on new web
server ? Or he/she will require to obtain a new certificate from the CA
?
Is there any kind of documentation which gives some kind of solution
to this problem ? How can I retrieve the private key and certificate
from the web servers database ?
Thanks in Advance
Mandar
