The DELETE /Certificates/ExcludedCertificates operation removes the specified certificates from the excluded list, allowing them to be re-imported into Keyfactor Command during the next CA
A certificate authority (CA) is an entity that issues digital certificates. Within Keyfactor Command, a CA may be a Microsoft CA or a Keyfactor gateway to a cloud-based or remote CA. synchronization or manual import.
If a certificate is re-imported after being removed from the exclusion list, associated data (for example, metadata Metadata provides information about a piece of data. It is used to summarize basic information about data, which can make working with the data easier. In Keyfactor Command, the certificate metadata feature allows you to create custom metadata fields that allow you to tag certificates with tracking information about certificates., the certificate private key Private keys are used in cryptography (symmetric and asymmetric) to encrypt or sign content. In asymmetric cryptography, they are used together in a key pair with a public key. The private or secret key is retained by the key's creator, making it highly secure.) is not restored.
On success, the operation returns 204 with no content. Delete operations continue until the entire array of IDs has been processed.
Excluded certificates are removed from active use in Keyfactor Command and are no longer included in standard operations. These certificates are skipped and not re-imported during a CA synchronization or manual import
TLS (Transport Layer Security) and its predecessor SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) are protocols for establishing authenticated and encrypted links between networked computers. scan or in a certificate store configured for inventory. This ensures that certificates that are still used in the environment are still tracked. A query parser, IsExcluded, is included on the certificate search grid and returns certificates that exist in both the certificate inventory and the exclusion list.Table 310: DELETE Certificates Excluded Certificates Input Parameters
| Name | In | Description |
|---|---|---|
| CertificateThumbprints | Body | Required. A JSON array of strings containing the thumbprints of the certificates on the excluded certificates list that should be marked as no longer excluded.
Use the GET Certificates Excluded Certificates operation to determine the certificate thumbprints. |
An API is a set of functions to allow creation of applications. Keyfactor offers the Keyfactor API, which allows third-party software to integrate with the advanced certificate enrollment and management features of Keyfactor Command. Reference and Utility, which allows you to call API operations and view results. It is primarily intended for validation, testing, and workflow A workflow is a series of steps necessary to complete a process. In Keyfactor Command, it refers to the workflow builder, which allows you to automate event-driven tasks such as when a certificate is requested, revoked or found in a certificate store. development, and also serves as an interactive supplement to this API documentation.
