Assuming you are talking about the generated certificates for the same real certificate X, then yes, they will all have the same (mimicked) fields. Whether they will be signed by the same CA depends on Squid configuration. In my answers, I assumed that all those Squids are configured with the same CA (including the same private key). > So what I'm saying is that you cannot say that every certificate > which will be created with the same CA will be the same for two > different 2048 bits RSA keys. ... unless the keys are also the same, which was my and, AFAICT, OP assumption. Also, unless you are doing something nasty, it probably does not make sense to configure a bumping Squid with a public CA certificate that is identical to some other public CA certificate but has a different private key. In other words, if you are using 200 Squids with a single public CA certificate, then all those Squids should use the same private key.
