Deleting a Certificate

Function

This API is used to delete a certificate. If you delete a certificate from CCM, the certificate will only be deleted from the ELB console, but not from the CCM console. To delete a certificate associated with a listener, you need to unbind the certificate from the listener first.

Constraints

If the certificate is used by a listener, the certificate cannot be deleted, and the 409 Conflict error code will be displayed.
