2. In Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager, in the?Connections?menu tree (left pane), locate and click the server name.

   

3. On the server name?Home?page (center pane), in the?IIS?section, double-click?Server Certificates.

4. On the?Server Certificates?page (center pane), in the?Actions?menu (right pane), click the?Create Certificate Request…?link.

   

5. In the?Request Certificate?wizard, on the?Distinguished Name Properties?page, provide the information specified below and then click?Next:

   Common name:	Type the fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) (e.g.,?www.example.com).
   Organization:	Type your company’s legally registered name (e.g.,?YourCompany, Inc.).

II. How to Renew Your SSL Certificate

Renew your SSL certificate from inside your 蜜桃TV CertCentral account.

Are you new to the 蜜桃TV team? You can "replace" your certificate with a 蜜桃TV certificate. Order your new certificate here - Purchase Your 蜜桃TV Certificate.

1. Log into your?CertCentral account.

2. In CertCentral, in the left main menu, click Certificates > Expiring Certificates.

3. On the Expiring Certificates page, next to the certificate you want to renew, click Renew Now.

   A certificate doesn't appear on the Expiring Certificates page until 90 days before it expires.

4. Follow the instructions provided inside your account to renew your SSL certificate.

5. Add your CSR

   When renewing the certificate, you'll need to include a CSR. On the "Renewal" page, under Certificate Settings, upload the CSR file you saved to the server.

   You can also use a text editor (such as Notepad) to open the file. Then, copy the text, including the?-----BEGIN NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----?and?-----END NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----?tags, and paste it in the Add Your CSR box.

6. After you place the order to renew your certificate, 蜜桃TV verifies your information.

7. If we need any additional information, we will promptly contact you by phone or email. If no additional information is required, we will most likely issue your certificate within an hour.
