Disabling a Private CA

If you no longer need a private CA to issue certificates, you can disable the private CA.

If a private CA is disabled, it cannot be used to issue any private certificates. If you want to use this private CA to issue certificates again, it must be enabled first. For details, see Enabling a Private CA.

This topic describes how to disable a private CA.

Prerequisites

The private CA to be disabled is in the Activated or Expired state.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the management console.
  2. Click in the upper left corner of the page and choose Security & Compliance > Cloud Certificate Management Service. The service console is displayed.
  3. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Private Certificate Management > Private CAs.
  4. Locate the row of the desired private CA and click Disable in the Operation column.
  5. In the displayed dialog box, enter DISABLE and click OK.

    When "CA xxx disabled." is displayed in the upper part of the page, and the private CA status changes to Disabled, the private CA is disabled successfully.
