Overview

Information about managing device certificates for managed devices to authenticate and identify the devices.

You can view and manage certificates that are issued by Catalyst Center for managed devices to authenticate and identify the devices.

As a best practice, when a device is no longer managed by Catalyst Center (for example, because the device is lost or no longer active), revoke or delete the device certificate.

Procedure

1.

From the main menu, choose System > Settings > Certificates > Device Certificates.

The Device Certificates window shows the status of issued certificates in separate tabs:

  • All: Shows the list of valid, expired, and expiring certificates.

  • Expired: Shows the list of expired certificates.

  • Expiring: Shows the list of certificates that are nearing the expiry date in ascending order.

  • Revoked: Shows the list of revoked certificates.

2.

To revoke a valid certificate:

  1. Click All.

  2. In the Action column, click the Revoke icon that corresponds to the certificate that you want to revoke.

  3. In the confirmation window, click OK.
3.

To delete an expired certificate:

  1. Click All.

  2. In the Action column, click the Delete icon that corresponds to the certificate that you want to delete.

  3. In the confirmation window, click OK.
4.

If you want to export the certificate details in CSV format, click Export.
