ios - Can we use same CSR to create certificates for different companies? -
i have quick question. develop ios apps multiple clients. each client has own apple accounts , create certificates them machine. question here can use same csr file create certificates different companies? thanks.
yes, technically can use same certificate signing request create multiple certificates multiple companies, certificate request must uploaded right developer account.
the csr contains in fact requester public key used ca (in case apple) create requested certificate. can see content using openssl command:
openssl req -text -noout -verify -in certificatesigningrequest.certsigningrequest
but user correctly noted in comment, certificates tied same private key (a public/private key pair in fact regenerated each time create csr) , lead reduced security if machine requesting certificate gets compromised. services require unique csr each certificate generation @ moment not enforced apple allows same csr reused. csr separation useful creation of distribution certificates , apns production certificates.
