If you mean 'certificate' as a whole, this isn't possible, as the expiration date is part of the certificate. If you really mean make a new certificate with the same public key that has a new expiration date, that is possible, but is normally a bad thing to do. > How to I can renew the existing SSL certificate with genkey? You might not be able to easily do this. In theory it should be possible becausse you still have the private key and can self sign a new certificate with a modified expiration date.
