Perform the following steps to renew an expiring certificate using the same private key when the certificate was generated by RACF® and issued by a local certificate authority. The expiring certificate was signed by a CERTAUTH certificate labeled 'Local RACF CA'.
  1. Create a certificate request based on the expiring certificate and store it in an MVS™ data set 'SYSADM.CERT.REQ' by executing the following command:
    RACDCERT ID(WEBSRV) GENREQ(LABEL('My Web Server Cert')) 
       DSN('SYSADM.CERT.REQ')

    ______________________________________________________________________

  2. Renew and replace the existing certificate by executing the following command:
    RACDCERT ID(WEBSRV) GENCERT('SYSADM.CERT.REQ') 
       SIGNWITH(CERTAUTH LABEL('Local RACF CA'))

    ______________________________________________________________________

You have now renewed a certificate that was signed by a local certificate authority and you renewed it using the same private key. All information in the certificate is updated to reflect the renewal, including the key ring connection information.
