Sometimes depending on the circumstances an organization may have to replace/reissue their SSL certificate. Doing so will require the following for the SSL certificate in question.
- Generation of a New CSR for the SSL certificate in question.
- Common Name or Order ID.
- Organizational or Technical Contact’s e-mail address associated with the SSL order.
To manage your SSL Order perform the following:

The link will open a Symantec Order Specific Page, where you will be asked to enter the following for security purposes. - Order ID or the Common Name for the order.
- Email address (organization or technical).
- Image number.
- Click Continue.
- Click Request Access against the correct order ID.
An e-mail will be sent to the Organizational or Technical Contact’s e-mail address that was specified. - Click on the link listed in the e-mail to access the User Portal.
- On the left hand column click Replace Certificate or Reissue Certificate to initiate the replacement wizard.
Note: Do NOT click Revoke certificate. - On the following screen select your Hashing Algorithm, then copy and paste the new CSR.
Note: If the SSL certificate that is being replaced contains Subject Alternative Names (SANs), you will need to select one of the following Redeem options:- Edit & Add Additional Domains:
This option is used for editing or adding SAN on the order. If you add new FQDN then it will require re-authentication. - Edit & Delete Additional Domains:
This option is used for editing or deleting SAN on the order. - *Reissue without changing the values of the Additional Domains
This is the standard option for reissuing a certificate.
- Edit & Add Additional Domains:
- Accept the Subscriber Agreement, click Submit
- After the order is processed and approved, the SSL certificate will be re-issued and sent to the Technical Contact’s email address listed on the order.
Note: Any changes for Common Name during a replacement will require manual approval which may delay the issuance of the replacement order
