Section IX: Management Security

Deleting a Certificate

The procedure in this section deletes a certificate from the certificate
database. Please note the following before performing this procedure:

ˆ

Deleting a certificate from the database does not delete it from the
switch. It continues to reside in the AT-S63 file system. To completely
remove a certificate from the switch, you must also delete it from the
file system. For instructions, refer to “Deleting a System File” on
page 164.

ˆ

You cannot delete a certificate from the database if its corresponding
encryption key is the active key in the web server configuration. The
switch will consider the certificate as in use and will not allow you to
delete it. You must first configure the web server with another
encryption key pair for a different certificate. For instructions, refer to
“Configuring the Web Server” on page 592.
