I am getting some sort of handle here . The problem is If I use the original key and the certificate that they give me, the web server does not start I assume because the CN, OU, etc. does not match.I just want a SSL cert that works.So right now I use a self signed CA.Now is there a concept of applying for a *Revoke *of an old CA before you apply for a a new CA . Because if I give the CN as xyz.abc.com I get a certificate *.abc.com why should that be so . Thanks again
