how to edit ca.crt server.crt vars data w/o affecting users

I want to change the certificate values such as KEY_COUNTRY PROVINCE CITY ORG EMAIL etc. on the server side but without having to reissue new certificates for existing clients. Is this possible?

I was able to merge a new ca and old ca together and that's working.

I can connect old and new clients no problem with the merged ca.crt

But when connecting to the vpn i still see my old cert data information in the logs so its the server.crt / server.key that's pushing the data to the clients logs.

creating a new server cert / key using build-key-server and replacing my old server.crt and server.key I'd not allowing my old and new clients connect.

Im trying to update my servers certs to reflect my updates information i.e email website.
