  4. Click View Keys. The Password panel opens.
  5. Type your keystore password
  6. Click OK.
  7. Select a key from the keys table.
  8. Click Disable to deactivate the key.

What to do next

If you are disabling the certificate so that you can prepare it as a replacement for another certificate that is in use, continue with the task for modifying your federation or partner properties in Modifying certificate settings.
