ipsec_config_delete(1M) 												   ipsec_config_delete(1M)

NAME

       ipsec_config_delete - delete configuration records from the HP-UX IPSec configuration database and delete certificate files

SYNOPSIS

       object_name

       ip_addr

       object_name

       object_name

       object_name

       object_name

DESCRIPTION

       The  command deletes configuration records from the configuration database and certificate data.  If HP-UX IPSec is active and running, the
       data (IPsec policy, authentication record or bypass list entry) is also deleted from the runtime policy	database.   If	you  delete  IPsec
       policies  that have active Security Associations (SAs), HP-UX IPSec removes the SAs from the Security Association Database (SADB) and sends
       a delete notification to the remote system.  If HP-UX IPSec removes an IKE policy, the associated IPSec SAs can remain active, but  no  IKE
       control messages can be sent.

       The  command deletes the certificate for the local system and the related private key file from the directory.  It does not delete certifi-
       cates for CAs or Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs).  To delete these objects, you must manually delete the files in the  directory.   You
       can use the command to display the file names with the subject names for the CA certificate files and the issuer names for the CRL files.

       You cannot delete the configuration object.

   Options and Operands
       The command recognizes the following options and operands:

	      object_name
		   Specifies the name of the object you are deleting.

		   Do not use this argument when deleting a configuration object.

		   You cannot delete the host, IKEv1, or IKEv2 policies.

	      ip_addr
		   Specifies the IP address of the entry in the bypass list you are deleting.

EXAMPLES

       The following command deletes the host IPsec policy named
