If you are replacing a server that currently has an InCommon certificate in use, you can migrate the certificate to the new server, avoiding the need to issue a new CSR and wait for a new certificate to be generated. This can be done even if the new server is using a different version of Windows and IIS than the existing server. Here are the directions for Exporting and Restoring a PFX file to IIS

Once you have been notified by InCommon that your certificate has been generated, follow these directions to install the certificate: Certificate Installation: Apache & mod_ssl Note that you should use the "X509 Certificate only, Base64 encoded" link to download the client certificate, and the "X509 Intermediates/root only Reverse, Base64 encoded" link to download the intermediate and rootcertificates, for use with httpd.
