Deleting a certificate

As a general rule, third-party certificates may be renewed but not changed. Some CAs will not allow any changes once the certificate is signed. If you need to make a change, delete the certificate and start again with a new certificate.

ATTENTION: Do not delete a certificate until its replacement is in place and configured. If you delete a certificate that is in use, the platform, FoxService or WebService could fail to restart. If you have the services configured for Https Only a secure platform connection using TLS (Platform TLS settings) or Foxs Only, a missing certificate could prohibit connectivity using encrypted connections. Workbench gives no warning if you delete a certificate that is currently being used by Workbench or the platform/station.

Perform the following steps:

Connect to the platform.
Do one of the following:
- To access the Workbench stores for managing the root CA, intermediate, and code-signing certificates, click Tools > Certificate Management.
- To access the platform/station stores, expand Platform and double-click Certificate Management in the Nav tree. To access the stores this way, the station must be idle.
Select the certificate in the User Key Store and click Delete.
The system asks you to confirm the deletion.
Carefully consider your action and click Yes (or No).
