Reactivating a retired certificate

If you want to enable a retired certificate, you can reactivate it. This situation might occur if a certificate was disabled or retired accidentally. However, once the certificate is revoked, you must get a new certificate because the Certificate Authority will revoke it and add it to the CRL (Certificate Revocation List).

For more information about CRL's, see Understanding CRLs and CDPs.

To reactivate a retired certificate

1. From the TLS Protect menu bar, click Inventory> Certificates.

2. In Common Filters, click the Status field and choose Retired.

   

3. In the certificate list, find the certificate that you want to reactivate.

4. On the certificate details page, click the Actions button, and then click Reactivate.

   

5. The certificate is returned to a Managed status with all of the settings that it had before it was retired.
