Step 4: Prepare the le share with the new .pfx certicates

Prerequisites

• Before you do this step, make sure that the new certicates are in .pfx le format. If not, you can use the Certicates snap-in

(Certmgr.msc) to convert them. For more information, see TechNet article Export a certicate with the private key (http://

technet.microsoft.com/library/cc737187(v=ws.10).aspx).

• Make sure that you know the password that was used to protect the private key.

Procedure

1 On the Console VM, create a le share; for example, \\<

Prex

>CON01\ImportCerts. Make sure that the <Prex>-System account

has Read/Write permissions.

2 Do either of the following:

• If you are using one wildcard certicate for both VMs, and it is registered at the domain level (for example, *.contoso.com), go to

the step 3.

• If you are using certicates that are registered at the website level, copy the folder tree from the share that you created in Step 1

to this new share, and then use the guidance in the next step to replace the existing .pfx les in the folder tree with the new ones.

You could also create a similar folder tree in the new share, instead of copying the folder tree.

3 Prepare the \\<

Prex

>CON01>\ImportCerts le share with the new .pfx certicates. You can specify only one .pfx le per folder.

Depending on the certicates that you have, do one of the following:

• If you have a wildcard certicate for the domain (for example, *.contoso.com), you only need to copy the .pfx le to the share,

for example:

\\<Prex>CON01\ImportCerts\contoso.com.pfx. This layout is the quickest way to update all websites with the same

SSL certicate.

• You can also add the .pfx les at the VM level. For example:

\\<Prefix>CON01\ImportCerts

\MgmtSvc-AdminAPI

\<Prefix>APA01
