Deleting an Encryption Key
This section contains the procedure for deleting an encryption key pair
from the switch. Note the following before performing this procedure.
ˆ Deleting a key pair from the key management database also deletes
the key’s corresponding “.ukf” file from the AT-S63 file system.
ˆ You cannot delete a key pair if it is being used by SSL or SSH. You
must either disable the SSL or SSH server software or reconfigure the
software by specifying another key.
ˆ Deleting a key pair used in creating an SSL certificate voids the
certificate.
To delete a public and private key pair, perform the following procedure:
1. From the Main Menu, type 7 to select Security and Services.
The Security and Services menu is shown in Figure 71 on page 220.
2. From the Security and Services menu, type 7 to select Keys/Certificate
Configuration.
The Keys/Certificate Configuration menu is shown in Figure 221 on
page 596.
3. From the Keys/Certificates Configuration menu, type 2 to select Key
Management.
The Key Management menu is shown in Figure 222 on page 597.
4. From the Key Management menu, type 2 to select Delete Key.
The following prompt is displayed:
Enter Key Id to delete -> [0 to 65535] -> 0
5. Enter the ID number of the key you want to delete.
The key pair is deleted from the key database and its corresponding
“.UKF” file is deleted from the file system.
Returning to the Main Menu to save your changes is not necessary
with this procedure. This type of change is automatically saved by the
management software.
