Hello everyone, I'm trying to delete a certificate that I misplaced but I don't know how to do it. The delete button is not available on the options, only import, view or Download. I have a certificate that expired yesterday and the point was to replace it for the new one. When I try to reload it, appears the following message: "Certificate file is duplicate for CA/LOCAL/REMOTE/CRL cert.". I'm running the fw 6.4.5 @ 60F units. Thank you

Did you do:

config vpn certificate ca <hit enter>

delete CA_Cert_1 <hit enter>

this should remove the cert you marked in your screenshot.

@sw2090 yes, usually I prefer deleting in the gui as well but especially with certs this often times doesn't work although the cert isn't used anywhere.

Hey Carlos,

when having issues with certificates, I can only highly recommend using the CLI instead of the GUI.

Just go to "config vpn certificate [local / ca / remote]" and issue the delete-command for the given certificate.

And how it works this command?

Can you please show me an example? Thank you!

Hi Carlos,

totally depends on what kind of certificate you want to delete (see the square brackets above).

For example you do "config vpn certificate local" and hit Enter for local certificates. Afterwards you can type "delete ?" to see which certificates you have on your device and then replace the questionmark by the cert you want to delete.

Best regards,

Jan
