[cobalt-security] old Thawte SSL Cert info won't give way to the new Geotrust



 I recently replaced an expired Thawte SSL cert with a new Geotrust cert.
> However, the server still shows the Thawte cert and shows it as expired. I
> have saved my cert request and signed cert, but I can't seem to get the

We have switched all of our Thawte Certs to Comodo Group (Geo) certs.  We
found that you had to do a server reboot before the brower would actually
detect the new Certs.  Don't know why but that works.  We manually back up
the certs, request, and keys just to be safe and then use the Admin panel to
generate the new request for the Comodo Group certs and then reboot after
the new cert is ready.

 The good thing about this is that you have to generate a new request to get
the new Cert and you want the Browsers to see the old cert until the process
is completed.  Once the cert is issued and you insert it, a reboot will
"make it live" and the browsers will now see the new one.  Hope this was of
some value.
