Restore SSL Certificate from Tape


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi,

 

I've had a 2003 server go down and I tried to restore my NTbackup tape and

that didn't work.

The new server had exactly the same problem as the old server. (Kept

rebooting at acpitable.dat)

 

Anyway, I've rebuilt the machine with a fresh install of windows 2003 server

and restored the data from the tape. (funny out a system restore didn't

work!)

 

What I need to do is restore a SSL certificate that is stored on the tape!

 

It was issued from verisign.

 

I do have my certificate request file and the response text file.

 

How do I plum them into the new server or do I have to buy a new one?

 

TIA

 

Rob

You can probably rename the response text file from Verisign into a

file with an extension of .CER and then right-click/Install

Certificate on that file.

The response typically does not include the private key does it? THat's in

the certificate request? You need to somehow import the certificate request

into the pending certificate requests store.
