In case of an expiring or expired certificate, you need to re-request a certificate at a given CA. Using Seon's built-in capability to regenerate a certificate signing request (CSR) from an existing certificate gives you an easy to use way to do this task.
Requirements
The following requirements must be met before this described process may work:
- You already have a certificate and private key combination uploaded to the "CSR" management panel, say: you have a green line indicating that you have such an entry.
- Your webserver (PHP) is able to communicate to the internet via https
- either directly
- or via a configured HTTP proxy
If no communication is possible, you can manually download the CSR and send it to us via eMail to contact@seon.de, but the most common way is the direct communication.
Find certificate
In order to re-request a certificate signing request, navigate to the administrative web interface to the menu entry "Certificates" -> "Cert.request". In the new panel, search your certificate you want to use for regenaration and click on the "gear" icon 
(labeled as "Use certificate of CSR ..."):
Issue new CSR
In the new window, click on the button "Regenerate new certificate request based in this certificate".
If the issued certificate was issued by the c-works OFTP2 CA, then your request is sent online to the CA, you don't need any interaction.
If the issued certificate was not issued by the c-works OFTP2 CA, then you have to download the CSR with the "Save" icon 
.
