You should be able to issue multiple certs to the same CN. One such example would be an email-signing certificate, and a separate code-signing certificate.
Revocation of the prior one is optional, but is encouraged if the private key has been lost or compromised. -Kyle H On 7/18/06, Michael P. Soulier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hello, If I'm using openssl to manage a CA, and I need to issue a new cert with the same CN as a previously issued Cert, is it enough to revoke the previous cert with that CN?
