pkidestroy(8)						   PKI Instance Removal Utility 					     pkidestroy(8)

NAME

       pkidestroy - Removes a subsystem from an instance of Certificate Server.

SYNOPSIS

       pkidestroy -s <subsystem> -i <instance> [-u <secutiry domain username>] [-W <security domain password file>] [-h] [-v] [-p <prefix>]

DESCRIPTION

       Removes	a subsystem from an instance of Certificate Server.  This utility removes any of the Java-based Certificate Server subsystems (CA,
       KRA, OCSP, and TKS).

       Note:  This utility is only used for Java-based subsystems. The Apache-based Certificate Server subsystems (RA and TPS) are  removed  using
	      pkiremove.

       An  instance  can contain multiple subsystems, although it may contain at most one of each type of subsystem.  So, for example, an instance
       could contain CA and KRA subsystems,  but not two CA subsystems.  If pkidestroy is invoked on the last subsystem in the instance, then that
       instance  is  removed.	Typically,  as subsystems need to contact the CA to update the security domain, the CA instance should be the last
       instance to be removed.

OPTIONS

       -s <subsystem>
	      Specifies the subsystem to be removed, where <subsystem> is CA, KRA, OCSP, or TKS. If this option is not specified, pkidestroy  will
	      prompt for its value.

       -i <instance>
	      Specifies  the name of the instance from which the subsystem should be removed.  The instance is located at /var/log/pki/<instance>.
	      If this option is not specified, pkidestroy will prompt for its value.

       -u <security domain username>
	      Specifies the username of the security domain of the subsystem. This is an optional parameter.

       -W <security domain password file>
	      Specifies the file containing the password of the security domain of the subsystem. This is an optional parameter.

       -h, --help
	      Prints additional help information.

       -v     Displays verbose information about the installation.  This flag can be provided multiple times to increase  verbosity.   See  pkide-
	      stroy -h for details.
