Can I Withdraw a Certificate Revocation or Deletion Application?

No.

After a certificate revocation or deletion application is submitted, it cannot be withdrawn. Exercise caution with certificate revocation or deletion.

• Certificate revocation indicates invalidating an issued certificate at the CA. A revoked certificate is no longer trusted and can no longer be used for certificate-based encryption.

  After a certificate revocation application is submitted, the CA reviews the application. The revocation is complete only after the application is approved.

  No operation is required during the revocation process, and the approval process of the CA takes little time. Therefore, the revocation application cannot be withdrawn after being submitted. Exercise caution with certificate revocation.

• Deleting a certificate indicates deleting a certificate from Huawei Cloud. The certificate will still be valid and trusted by web browsers.

  If you submit a certificate deletion application, Huawei Cloud directly deletes the certificate. There is no need to obtain the approval from the CA. Therefore, the certificate deletion operation cannot be withdrawn after being performed. Exercise caution with certificate deletion.
