Hi Rafael,

I think the following should work for you in theory (Note: I have not 
tried  it myself).

If you mean the web server cert, by default it uses the caServerCert 
profile.  So to add SAN you would want to add Subject Alt Name Default 
and possibly constraint to that profile. You can look up how other 
default profiles.

Here is an example policy you could add:

policyset.serverCertSet.9.constraint.class_id=noConstraintImpl
policyset.serverCertSet.9.constraint.name=No Constraint
policyset.serverCertSet.9.default.class_id=subjectAltNameExtDefaultImpl
policyset.serverCertSet.9.default.name=Subject Alternative Name 
Extension Default
policyset.serverCertSet.9.default.params.subjAltExtGNEnable_0=true
policyset.serverCertSet.9.default.params.subjAltExtPattern_0=yourServer.example.com
policyset.serverCertSet.9.default.params.subjAltExtType_0=DNSName
policyset.serverCertSet.9.default.params.subjAltNameNumGNs=1

Make sure you add the set id "9" (if unique..you can change it to 
another unique id) to

policyset.serverCertSet.list=

It is important that you add that to the profile before you proceed with 
the renewal instruction (under the assumption that you wish to reuse 
keys), because the instruction I am about to give you will use the same 
profile that the original cert was issued through.  Restart the CA after 
the above config change.

About renewal, if you want to reuse the same keys of the original web 
server certificate, you could try going to the ee page 
Enrollment/Renewal tab.  Where you would find on the last link of the 
page to be

Renewal: Renew certificate to be manually approved by agents.

Enter the current (to be replaced) server cert serial number and 
submit.  Have the CA agent approve the request.  Download and update 
your server cert, restart the intended web server.

If you don't want to reuse keys, then simply enroll through the Manual 
Server Certificate Enrollment, which uses the profile that you just 
modified, but will expect a whole new csr to be the input (rekey).  
Incidentally, if you happen to have the original CSR (hence preserving 
the same keys), you would end up having the same keys with the new 
update profile (with SAN) as well, which would effectively give you the 
same result.

Let us know if that works for you.

Christina
