install certificates on an other computer

tiesto

hi
I bought a new Mac and I want to install my certificates
before buying this mac I have installed certificates Development and distrubution on another
I do not want to export and import my certificates because I want to use a single computer
I must revoke the old and create new or simply create new ?
thank you

When I changed from MacBook Pro to iMac I remember it being a huge headache trying to install the certificates again. I can't remember how and when it was but someone said to save the certificates on usb and just transfer and install it that way cause its still valid. Perhaps someone can give better advice but thats what I did and worked fine

and if I revoke them and create news ?

Couldn't you export and import and then delete the ones on the old Mac?

You can export them straight out of Xcode. Do a google search exporting apple developer certs.

It's not too much trouble to start over from scratch and revoke and re-do your certificates if you've done it before. If it's your first time, it can be troublesome. You have to watch out for duplicate keys if you go that route. I've done it for myself before, and a few times for other people. The only obstacle I came across was duplicate keys that were created that I didn't know about, but @FryingBaconStudios found and sorted that out for me. It is a lot easier to just export your old certificates and import them to the new machine, though.
