certutil, certificates and keys
How do you find which certificate uses which private key?
I would like to delete certificates and corresponding keys that are expired and unused.
Thank you.

Personally I document and date when I create or acquire certificates and keys, and how I name the files.
IF you have saved the creation files there are tools to READ them and the dates stored in them, but if you cannot use those then your documentation is the resource.
IF you have no documentation, you are kinda screwed and the best things might be to start over and DOCUMENT! |

Run a fingerprint on both the cert and the key, then compare. That tells you what belongs together.
