Deleting a CA

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.

To delete a CA

1. Navigate to Administration > PKIaaS Management.
   

   

2. Select the row of the CA you want to delete and select Actions > Remove.
   

   

3. Review the information on the confirmation request before confirming the deletion.

4. 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.
