Polycom 3725-77601-001H manual Delete a Certificate

Management & Security Operations

The CMA system requires a CRL for each CA or sub-CA in the certificate chain. The CMA system also requires that you upload a new CRL at regular intervals. This interval can be as short as a few days in higher security environments or a few months in environments with lower security requirements.

IMPORTANT

If an administrator does not upload a new CRL by the CRL Next Update date, the system will become unresponsive. Recovering from this situation requires reinstalling from the recovery disk, manually reconfiguring of identity and root certificates, and restoring the system from a system backup

To upload a certificate revocation list

1Go to Admin > Management and Security > Certificate Management and click Upload Certificate Revocation List.

2In the Select file dialog box, browse to the location of the CRL that you obtained from the CA and select the file.

3Click Open.

Delete a Certificate

You can delete certificates from the CMA system, but the CMA system prevents you from deleting any certificate that breaks the identity certificate’s chain of trust. To delete these certificates, new CA certificates must be installed and the identity certificate must be replaced.

Caution

Removing certificates requires a system restart, which terminates all active conferences.

When you 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.

To delete a certificate

1Admin > Management and Security > Certificate Management.

The Certificate Management page displays the list of currently available certificates.

2Select the certificate to be deleted and click Delete Certificate.

A warning appears stating that changes made to the certificates will require a system restart to take effect.

3Click Yes to continue.
