Delete a Certificate Signing Request

Use the GenCSR utility with the delete argument to delete a CSR. This utility deletes the CSR only. It does not delete system certificates that are updated with a CA-issued certificate.

Procedure

  1. Ensure that the cacert.properties file is configured properly.
    You must configure the property file before using the delete argument. The following table describes the parameters required in the cacert.properties file for the delete argument.
    Parameter Description Valid Values
    certificate.request.Name Name of the CSR to delete. Name of a CSR
    keystoretype Name of the keystore used. IBMPKCS11IMPL
    provider Name of keystore provider. SunPKCS11-B2Bi
    Note: The 'keystoretype' value should be synchronous with the 'provider' value.
  2. Delete the CSR.
    The command syntax is ./GenCSR.sh -a delete -p ../properties/cacert.properties
