Deleting an Encryption Key
This section contains the procedure for deleting an encryption key pair
from the switch. Note the following before performing this procedure.
ˆ Deleting a key pair from the key management database also deletes
the key’s corresponding “.UKF” file from the AT-S62 file system.
ˆ You cannot delete a key pair if it is being used by SSL or SSH. You
must first either disable the SSL or SSH server software or reconfigure
the software by specifying another key.
ˆ Deleting a key pair used in creating an SSL certificate voids the
certificate.
This procedure starts from the Key Management menu. If you are unsure
how to display the menu, perform steps 1 to 3 in “Creating an Encryption
Key” on page 695.
To delete a key pair, do the following:
1. From the Key Management menu, type 2 to select Delete Key.
2. When prompted, enter the ID number of the key you want to delete.
The key pair is deleted from the key database.
Returning to the Main Menu to save your changes is not necessary
with this procedure. This type of change is automatically saved by the
management software.
