29.2. Disabling an IdM sub-CA
After revoking the CA certificate of an IdM sub-CA to invalidate all the certificates issued by that sub-CA, consider disabling the IdM sub-CA if you no longer need it. You can re-enable the sub-CA at a later time.
Disabling the sub-CA prevents the sub-CA from issuing new certificates, but allows Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) responses to be produced for previously issued certificates because the sub-CA’s signing keys are retained.
Prerequisites
- You are logged in as IdM administrator.
Procedure
Enter the
ipa ca-disablecommand and specify the name of the sub-CA:$ ipa ca-disable webserver-CA -------------------- Disabled CA "webserver-CA" --------------------
