I have question that propably should be in new thread but it' s related
with all this storing private keys in DRM. How to handle certificate
renewal?
In renewal request for other profiles I found that the renewal request has
a new public key which is diffrent, that means private key has been changed
as well.
After administrator approve on renewal request, the DRM will store not
valid private key. I have some ideas how to fix that, if You have any
better please give me a hint.
solution A) In reneval request put generated put crmf request generated by
CRMFPopClient
solution B) revoke old certificate, create new one with same key pair and
subject values(except notvalidafter date)

Or maybe is there option to renewal certificate without changing keys? from
some reading(
http://security.stackexchange.com/questions/27810/should-i-change-the-private-key-when-renewing-a-certificate)
propably SSL certificates renewals does not require that.
