Entrust PKI as a Service

Deleting a CA

When deleting a certificate authority:

  • All certificates issued for end entities or other certificate authorities become unusable. Specifically, when deleting a root certificate authority, all its subordinate certificate authorities and all certificates issued by these subordinate certificate authorities become unusable.

  • You must wait 24 hours before creating a CA with the same identifier. During these 24 hours, your number of active CAs will still include this CA.

 For authorities created in Creating a third-party Sectigo authority, this process removes the CA configuration from PKIaaS but certificates issued through Sectigo Certificate Manager remain managed by Sectigo.

Follow the steps below to delete a certificate authority.
