Digital Certificate Manager - Need API to delete certificates in *SYSTEM store

We have over 200 IBM i partitions globally and need an API to delete certificates / certificate authorities within the Digital Certificate Manager.


Use Case:

DCM on each IBM i partition contains the certificate authorities from every other IBM i partition so secure telnet can be established between any partition. I currently must sign into DCM on to each partition and manually delete any certificates from partitions that have been decommissioned.

    IBM will use this request as input to planning but no commitment is made or implied. This request will be updated in the future if IBM implements it. IBM will use votes and comments from others in the community to help prioritize this request.

    Hi

    If I've understood your RFE correctly, then I believe IBM delivered this API in 7.4 .

    The link below lists all the DCM APIs:

    Hope that helps.

    IBM has received the requirement and is evaluating it. IBM will provide a response after evaluation is complete.
