3.4. Configuring Profiles to Enable Renewal
This section discusses how to set up profiles for certificate renewals. For more information on how to renew certificates, see Section 5.5, “Renewing Certificates”.
A profile that allows renewal is often accompanied by the
renewGracePeriodConstraint entry. For example:
policyset.cmcUserCertSet.10.constraint.class_id=renewGracePeriodConstraintImpl policyset.cmcUserCertSet.10.constraint.name=Renewal Grace Period Constraint policyset.cmcUserCertSet.10.constraint.params.renewal.graceBefore=30 policyset.cmcUserCertSet.10.constraint.params.renewal.graceAfter=30 policyset.cmcUserCertSet.10.default.class_id=noDefaultImpl policyset.cmcUserCertSet.10.default.name=No Default
3.4.1. Renewing Using the Same Key
A profile that allows the same key to be submitted for renewal has the
allowSameKeyRenewal parameter set to true in the uniqueKeyConstraint entry. For example:
policyset.cmcUserCertSet.9.constraint.class_id=uniqueKeyConstraintImpl policyset.cmcUserCertSet.9.constraint.name=Unique Key Constraint policyset.cmcUserCertSet.9.constraint.params.allowSameKeyRenewal=true policyset.cmcUserCertSet.9.default.class_id=noDefaultImpl policyset.cmcUserCertSet.9.default.name=No Default
3.4.2. Renewal Using a New Key
To renew a certificate with a new key, use the same profile with a new key. Certificate System uses the
subjectDN from the user signing certificate used to sign the request for the new certificate.
