How to renew SSL server certificates with RSA Certificate Manager
Renewal page looks for certificate in browser
Cause
Renewal port is configure for client certificate authentication. The end entity certificate presented is the one to be renewed.
Resolution
Currently there is no automated process for renewing SSL server certificates. The current renewal process is for end entity certificates where the user presents their certificate for web authentication. The CA then uses the certificate presented to search database, renew the certificate, then present download to user.

For SSL server certificates or others enrolled with P10 requests, the best practice is to edit the renewal email and include the URL to the P10 certificate request page to get a new one.
