What to do with existing x509 certificate record in SNOW when renewing

Hello all,

I'm preparing to update our SNOW instances with updated x509 certificates for the first time (please bear with me).

From what I have read it looks like I need to simply create a new x509 certificate record in SNOW with the new certificate.

Question: What do I do with the existing x509 certificate record that is due to expire? Do I just leave it there and it will switch over to the new certificate after it expires?

Thanks!

Mike

short answer is yes, we have always left the old one there and it started using the new one without issue.


Thank you both for the replies!



Ankur, I went through all of those links but was unable to find anything specific about what to do with the existing/expiring cert. I'm assuming I am going to need to "flick the switch" manually after uploading the new cert so I can confirm that it is working. Would I just clear the Active flag on the expiring cert record for the new one to take affect?
