When deleting CAs take into account that:

  • Before deleting a root CA, you must delete all issuing CAs under the root CA.
  • Before deleting an issuing CA, you must first remove any CA Gateway Credential and Enrollment Gateway associated with this CA.
  • When you delete an issuing CA, you also delete all the certificates you issued from this CA.
  • After deleting a CA, the CA license returns to inventory, generally within 24 hours.

CA deletion is not reversible.

To delete a CA

  1. Log into cloud.entrust.net
  2. Navigate to Administration > PKIaaS Management.
  3. Select the row of the CA you want to delete and select Actions > Remove.
  4. Review the information on the confirmation request before confirming the deletion.
  5. In the CA grid view, the CA status becomes Deleting while the deletion is processed (usually ~60 seconds).
    Refresh the grid. You will notice that the deleted CA is no longer listed.
