Hi again,
        I cant specifically answer your question, but after only just
getting a cert set up on my WebTen server, I just pasted the cert from the
Thawte generated page into a BBEdit page, then put it into the appropriate
spot in the WebTen/tenon/ssl directory & restarted - voila - worked.
        I would assume that Verisign (being Thawte's parent company), do it
similarly - if they have already issued the new cert, I guess you just
replace the old with the new & it should work. On another list I am on,
someone mentioned that you simply insert your old cert into their renewal
screen & pay the renewal & you don't need to do anything else - they update
their details & you keep using the old one.


        Bye for now, Terry Allen
