I have taken over the development of a Windows Store app, and our store certificate has recently expired. How do I renew the certificate, or do I have to generate a new one?
In the .appxmanifest, I can choose to generate a new Test certificate, but I need a store certificate, not a test certificate.
You can use the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) certificates snap-in (computer store). You should right-click the expiring certificate and choose “All Tasks –> Renew certificate with new key”.
When using an expired certificate, you risk your encryption and mutual authentication. As a result, both your website and users are susceptible to attacks and viruses.
In the console tree, expand the Personal store, and click Certificates. In the details pane, select the certificate that you are renewing. On the Action menu, point to All Tasks, point to Advanced Operations, and then click Renew this certificate with the same key to start the Certificate Renewal Wizard.
