Reissue an SSL certificate

You may need to have your SSL certificate reissued for various reasons, such as:

  • A change to your CSR (Certificate Signing Request)
  • The loss of a private key

This article will walk you through:

 
For a certificate to be reissued, the approval email must approve the reissue.  Approval can only be done via the approval email, not DNS nor file validation.  The approval email is listed in Enom's control panel under Security > SSL Certificates > Manage.  It can also be found in the reissue portal in step 3 below under "Domain Approver".   

 

Where to go

When requesting a reissue, the same contacts and domain name associated with the original SSL Certificate must be used for the new SSL Certificate. To get a reissue on an SSL Certificate, go to the SSL certificate provider's site:

Comodo

Comodo certificates are reissued through Enom Support. To start that process just send us an email at customercare@enom.com

You will need to provide us with the following information:

  • Domain name on the certificate
  • Supplier order ID
  • CSR (Certificate Signing Request)
    • NOTE:  The CSR does not have to be generated using the SHA2 hash; you can use the same CSR that was used to last issue/reissue the certificate.
  • Message stating you wish to reissue the certificate

We will then reissue the certificates with Comodo on your behalf. 

 

What you need

In order to get your SSL certificate reissued for all suppliers besides Comodo, make sure you have the following information ready:  

For GeoTrust and Symantec:

  • Fully qualified domain name or common name - The domain for which the original SSL certificate was issued
  • Email address - The Admin or Tech email address
    • To find the Admin or Tech Email go to Security > SSL Certificates > Manage
    • "Click to View" link under "Contact Information"
  • Order ID - this corresponds to the Reference ID in your Reseller Control Panel
    • To find the Reference ID, go to Security > SSL Certificates > Manage
    • Locate and click on the specific SSL Order 
    • Find the Reference ID number on the SSL information.

 

How to get your SSL certificate reissued

1. To log in:

  • Enter the domain name OR order ID
    • NOTE:  The order ID corresponds to the Reference ID listed in your Reseller Control Panel
  • Enter one of the email addresses you used on your order
  • In the Image number field, enter the number in the box below

3. Check your email and click on the vendor login url. You will see the following control panel.

Click the Reissue Certificate link in the top left menu.  Make a note of the Domain Approver email in the screenshot below as the domain approver has to approve the email before the cert can be sent to the Technical contact.

4.  In the Hashing Algorithm drop-down menu, select SHA2 with a 256-bit Digest (or reissue it with SHA1, if required).

Then enter your CSR in the provided field. This can be the existing CSR (SHA1 or 2) or a new CSR.

Lastly, review and agree to the Subscriber Agreement and then click Submit.
