Revoking Certificate

If you have the necessary permission, you can submit a request to the issuer of a certificate to revoke it. As soon as the certificate is revoked, the certificate is no longer considered to be trusted. Revoked certificates are listed in the Certificate Revocation List (CRL) maintained by each certificate authority.

Note: Revoke old certificates after renewing and provisioning new keys.

To revoke a certificate:

  1. Go to (Menu) icon > CERT+.
    The CERT+ left navigation pane appears.
  2. Switch to the List toggle button on the top right corner of the page.
  3. In the Common Name column certificate list, select the certificate that you want to revoke.
  4. Hover the mouse over (More) icon on the certificate, and click the Revoke option.
  5. Select a reason for revoking the certificate.
  6. Click Yes.
    A request ID and work order ID are generated automatically and the work order status is displayed beside the certificate on the topological view.
  7. Click Approve.
  8. On the Approve screen that pops up:
    • Click Now or Schedule Later button in the Implement field.
    • If you select Schedule Later, set the date and time that you want the certificate push to occur.
    • Enter comments and click OK.
