Remove a Certificate from the DMA System

There are two kinds of certificate removal:

Removing the certificate of a Trusted Root CA so that the system no longer trusts certificates signed by that certificate authority.

Removing the signed certificate currently in use as the Server SSL certificate so that the system reverts to using the default self-signed Server SSL certificate.

Removing a signed certificate also removes the certificate of the Trusted Root CA that signed it, along with any intermediate certificates provided by that certificate authority.

Both procedures are described below.

Caution

Installing or removing certificates requires a system restart and terminates all active conferences.

When you install or remove a certificate, the change is made to the certificate store immediately, but the system can’t implement the change until it restarts and reads the changed certificate store.

For your convenience, you’re not required to restart and apply a change immediately. This permits you to perform multiple installs or removals before restarting and applying the changes. But when you’re finished making changes, you must select Restart to Apply Saved Changes to restart the system and finish your update. Before you begin, make sure there are no active conferences and you’re prepared to restart the system when you’re finished.

To remove a Trusted Root CA’s certificate

1Go to Admin > Local Cluster > Certificates.

2In the certificates list, select the certificate you want to delete.

3In the Actions list, select Display Details and confirm that you’ve selected the correct certificate. Then click OK.

4In the Actions list, select Delete Certificate.

5 When asked to confirm, click Yes.

A dialog box informs you that the certificate has been deleted.

6 Click OK.
