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
-soption - Specifies the subsystem to be removed: CA, KRA, OCSP, TKS, or TPS
- the
-ioption - 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.
