Usage Guidelines
This command deletes the CA certificate or certificate chain corresponding to the trustpoint CA. As a result,
the trustpoint CA is no longer trusted. If there is an identity certificate form the CA, you must delete it before
you can delete the CA certificate. This prevents the accidental deletion of a CA certificate when you have not
yet deleted the identity certificate obtained from that CA. Deleting the CA certificate may be necessary when
you no longer want to trust the CA because the CA is compromised or the CA certificate has expired.
The trustpoint configuration, certificates, and key pair configurations are persistent only after saving to the
startup configuration. Deletions become persistent only after you save the running configuration to the startup
configuration.
Enter the copy running-config startup-config command to make the certificate and key pair deletions
persistent.
This command does not require a license.
