1.2. The pkidestroy Utility

The pkidestroy utility removes a subsystem from a specified Certificate Server instance. The utility can be run non-interactively or interactively.

1.2.1. Non-interactive pkidestroy Mode

To remove a subsystem using pkidestroy, execute the utility with the following options:
the -s option
Specifies the subsystem to be removed: CA, KRA, OCSP, TKS, or TPS
the -i option
Specifies the name of the instance from which the subsystem is to be removed
For example, the following command removes a KRA subsystem from an instance named instance_name:
# pkidestroy -s KRA -i instance_name
For more information about pkidestroy, see the pkidestroy(8) man page.

1.2.2. Interactive pkidestroy Mode

If you execute pkidestroy without any options, the utility automatically prompts you for the required information. For example, if you do not specify the -s option, pkispawn interactively prompts for the subsystem to be removed.
