Delete an SSL Certificate by Using the REST API
You can delete an SSL certificate by running the Delete trusted certificate workflow of the Configuration
plug-in or by using the REST API.
Procedure
1 Make a GET request at the URL of the Workflow service of the Delete trusted certificate workflow.
GET https://{vcoHost}:{port}/vco/api/workflows?conditions=name=Delete trusted certificate
2 Retrieve the definition of the Delete trusted certificate workflow by making a GET request at the URL of
the definition.
GET https://{vcoHost}:{port}/vco/api/workflows/8a70a326-ffd7-4fef-97e0-2002ac49f5bd
3 Make a POST request at the URL that holds the execution objects of the Delete trusted certificate
workflow.
POST https://{vcoHost}:{port}/vco/api/workflows/8a70a326-
ffd7-4fef-97e0-2002ac49f5bd/executions/
4 Provide the name of the certificate you want to delete as an input parameter of the Delete trusted
certificate workflow in an execution-context element in the request body.
