FAQ: Can I migrate my existing SSL to the another server?
Yes, an SSL certificate can be used on different servers as long as it secures the same domain name for which it was originally issued. You can check with :
openssl x509 -in your_cert.crt -noout -text | grep -A1 "Subject Alternative Name"
..or you can use online certificate decoder such as this and paste your certificate there to know what domains your SSL can cover.
To migrate your SSL to a different server, ensure that you have :
- The SSL certificate
- Private key file
- Intermediate certificate / CA bundle
If you are using a .pfx (or .p12) file to install your SSL certificate, you do not need to separately provide the private key or CA bundle, as the .pfx file contains the certificate, private key, and any intermediate certificates bundled together. However, you must know the password that was set when the .pfx file was created in order to use or extract its contents.
