Any existing request is overwritten.
For the following reasons you should not perform reinstallation or change the host name between requesting an SSL certificate (creation of the certificate signing request) and entering the signed certificate into the system:
When the certificate signing request is created, it is linked to the system’s standard SSL key. If this key is changed in the system in the time between the certificate signing request being created and the signed certificate being entered in the system, the certificate cannot be used.
A new standard SSL key is created when reinstallation takes place or when the host name is changed.
