Re: Renaming a Certificate Root authority

You can't change issued certificates and you can't rename a Certificate
Authority. You can create a new Certificate Authority with the name you
need. You can run into problems with "old" certificates if the
computers/applicaions no longer trusts the CA that issued them and when
Certificate Revocation Lists are no longer available. Creating a new CA that
is a subordinate CA to an existing CA with the name you want would be a
relatively safe way to go if that could be a possibility. --- Steve

I need to rename the certificate root, the "issued by" field on the
certificate. Is this possible with Windows 2000, or Win2k3? If so, would
the certificates previously issued by that CA be invalidated?

Thank you,

Bill
