NetBackup and NetBackup Appliances Hardening Guide

Deleting CA certificates

You can delete a CA certificate if it is no longer used for smart card authentication. If a user attempts to use the associated digital certificate or smart card certificate, they are not able to sign in to NetBackup.

To delete a CA certificate:

  1. Log in to NetBackup UI.
  2. In the left navigation pane, click Settings > Security management, and then click Smart card authentication.
  3. Select the CA certificate that you want to delete and click Delete.

    The certificate is deleted and no longer displayed under CA certificates. The web server is restarted after the certificate is deleted.
