Re: How to change "Common Name" field in a self-signed certificate on SBS 2003

Common names cannot really be changed - its hashed into the cert.

Just rerun the CSR generation and replace it. Good luck if this was a
purchased cert, most will recharge you unless you purchased the insurance or
extended plans orr something. If self signed, no skin off your back other
than time.

Hello MVP's,

I need a little help in sorting out where to 'change' the certificate
information on my Certificate Authority Servers on SBS 2003 SP1
standard ...

What I have garnered from the Newsgroup so far is that the IP address
or FQDN ought to be the name used on the Certificate. This I did not
do when I created the Certificate.

Is there a 'way' to change this?
