delete certificate

To delete the identity certificate, use the delete certificate command in trust point configuration

Syntax Description

Command Modes

Trust point configuration submode.

Command History

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to delete the identity certificate from the trust point CA. This action may be necessary

when the identity certificate expires or the corresponding key pair is compromised. Applications will be

left without any identity certificate to use after the deletion of the last or the only identity certificate

present. Accordingly, an error message is generated if the certificate being deleted is the last or only

identity certificate present. If needed, the deletion can still be accomplished by forcing it using the force

The trust point configuration, certificates, and key pair configurations are made persistent only after

saving to the startup configuration. To be consistent with this configuration behavior, the delete behavior

is also the same. That is, the deletions are made persistent only after saving to the startup configuration.

Use the copy running-config startup-config command to make the certificate and key pair deletions

The following example shows how to delete the identity certificate.

switch# config terminal

switch(config)# crypto ca trustpoint admin-ca

switch(config-trustpoint)# delete certificate

The following example shows how to force the deletion of the identity certificate.

switch(config-trustpoint)# delete certificate force
