The DOEGrids certificate renewal process in fact replaces your current certificate with a new one. Your CN will remain the same in your new certificate as in your soon-to-expire one.

If your old certificate has expired, request a new certificate through the normal channels, and enter a comment requesting that you be reissued the same CN as you had.

To renew a non-expired certificate:

• Go to https://pki1.doegrids.org/, then select the "Enrollment" tab
• Choose "Replacement Certificate" under the "Subscriber" section.
• Read the page carefully.
• Select an appropriate key length and click the Submit button.
• Some key generation will occur
• If you are prompted to choose a certificate, you should select your old DOEGrids one.
• Once your cert has been renewed, it will be automatically imported into the browser.
• Now check your email. You should have received a message from DOEGrids similar to the following:

Your Personal certificate request has been processed successfully.
SubjectDN= CN=Your Name xxxxxx,OU=People,DC=doegrids,DC=org

You need to be running the same browser, on the same machine, logged in as the same user, as you were when you made the certificate request.

After importing your certificate, export your certificate and the private key for Grid use.
Kindly follow the instructions on http://www.doegrids.org/pages/cert-request.html#Globus

Please contact your RA if there is any problem.

• Your new certificate is imported. See our test page to check that your certificate is properly installed in your browser. If it hasn't been imported, follow the link to the URL given in the email message from DOEGrids, and click the Import button, as directed.
