Delete a CSR

About this task

Use the manageCSRs -delete command to delete a CSR from the CM store. This command can be run while CM is running.

Consider the following when using this command:

  • If the CSR is pending and its key certificate was generated on an HSM, the temporary key certificate is deleted from the HSM.
  • If the CSR is complete, this command deletes the CSR, but does not delete the key certificate. To delete the key certificate, use the manageKeyCerts -delete command.

To delete a CSR from CM, type the following command:

manageCSRs -delete [parameters]

Following is a description of the delete parameters:

adminpass

Administrator password. Optional. Prompts if not defined.

newKeyStorePass

New HSM keystore password. Optional.

If defined, this value overrides the keystore password used when the CSR was created. This parameter allows you to update a CSR on the HSM after the keystore password for the HSM is changed.
