Renew SSL certificate in 2X ApplicationServer .pfx .crt .key

I just did an SSL certificate renewal on a 2X Server and wanted to pass along my experiences because I didn't find any posts on the subject and had a tough time implementing it in the first place. So.... Here is what I did to renew the Willdcard Certificate and get 2X to recognize the updated certificate. Neither changing the binding to the 2X Website in IIS to the updated certificate or deleting the old certificate worked. It kept showing up as having the expired SSL certificate when loaded from a browser.

This is why.

To work with an SSL Certificate in 2X, you have to have separate .crt and .key files. To take a standard Microsoft IIS exported .pfx file, you use the following OpenSSL utility to separate the component files.

You then reference the storage place the .crt and .key files in the 2X Application Server and Loadbalancer Console. (Farm Tab> SSL/TLS Tab)

These are the instructions for using the OpenSSL utility.

If you stumble upon this while trying to accomplish these tasks, Cheers! I hope this helps out.
