Section IV: Security

Deleting a Certificate

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

❑ Deleting a certificate from the database does not delete it from

the switch. It continues to reside in the AT-S62 file system. To
completely remove a certificate from the switch, you must also
delete it from the file system. For instructions, refer to ”Copying a
System File” on page 179.

❑ You cannot delete a certificate from the database if you specified

its corresponding encryption key as 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 542.

This procedure starts from the X509 Certificate Management menu. If
you are unsure how to access the menu, perform steps 1 to 4 in the
procedure ”Adding a Certificate to the Database” on page 588.
