How to Change the SSL Certificate Subject

Changing -- also known as editing -- the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate is a way of updating the certificate to protect your computer against new virus or spyware attacks. A certificate is installed on a Windows Server computer and protects the computer's files and folders against malicious attacks. Changing a certificate can be done by an IT administrator who has the right skills.
