pkidestroy(8) PKI Instance Removal Utility pkidestroy(8)NAMEpkidestroy - Removes a subsystem from an instance of Certificate
Server.
SYNOPSISpkidestroy-s <subsystem> -i <instance> [-u <secutiry domain username>]
[-W <security domain password file>] [-h] [-v] [-p <prefix>]
DESCRIPTION
Removes a subsystem from an instance of Certificate Server. This util‐
ity removes any of the Java-based Certificate Server subsystems (CA,
KRA, OCSP, and TKS).
Note: This utility is only used for Java-based subsystems. The Apache-
based Certificate Server subsystems (RA and TPS) are removed
using pkiremove.
An instance can contain multiple subsystems, although it may contain at
most one of each type of subsystem. So, for example, an instance could
contain CA and KRA subsystems, but not two CA subsystems. If pkide‐
stroy is invoked on the last subsystem in the instance, then that
instance is removed. Typically, as subsystems need to contact the CA
to update the security domain, the CA instance should be the last
instance to be removed.
OPTIONS-s <subsystem>
Specifies the subsystem to be removed, where <subsystem> is CA,
KRA, OCSP, or TKS. If this option is not specified, pkidestroy
will prompt for its value.
-i <instance>
Specifies the name of the instance from which the subsystem
should be removed. The instance is located at
/var/log/pki/<instance>. If this option is not specified, pkide‐
stroy will prompt for its value.
-u <security domain username>
Specifies the username of the security domain of the subsystem.
This is an optional parameter.
-W <security domain password file>
Specifies the file containing the password of the security
domain of the subsystem. This is an optional parameter.
-h, --help
Prints additional help information.
-v Displays verbose information about the installation. This flag
can be provided multiple times to increase verbosity. See
pkidestroy-h for details.
