Is it possible to move ssl certificates to a different server? I suppose I would have to generate a new server key for the domain. But CRT's aren't server specific are they?

If the domain name is the only thing specified than you are safe.

If the IP was added in, you are gonna have to get that updated.

Nope, just the domain name thankfully. Thanks for the reply :banana:

Copy the key, crt and csr files across (into the /usr/share/ssl/certs and /usr/share/ssl/private directories), add a SSL virtualhost for that domain to httpd.conf with the new IP and paths and all. Restart SSL.

Or in WHM, "Install an SSL Certificate and Setup the Domain". (Never tried -moving- certs using this, but should work)

Aren't .key hashes server specific though? I though they were at least. Anyway I'll try this. Thanks elevation :)

No, they're randomly generated, not server specific.

Let me know how it goes :)

Hi,
elevation was right. We have moved plenty of ssl certs. just copy the files he mentioned and set the domain up in the apache.conf and your set.

It will work just fine.
