Revoking or removing a server certificate
If there are suspicions that a user on the Spotfire Server has
signed unsafe items, it is possible to revoke the user's certificates, which
renders signatures invalid. This prevents other users from making a trust
decision based on false premises. As an administrator, you have the option to
revoke a specific certificate for a user or for all certificates from that
user, from a certain point in time, using the command
revoke-code-signing-certificate
. Previously imported root
certificates, issued by a certificate authority (CA), can instead be removed
using the command
remove-code-signing-root-certificate
.
About this task
When a certificate has been revoked, any signature made on items (after the specified time) will be considered invalid.
By default, only valid signatures can be trusted. If required (in special cases), it is possible to relax this limitation by changing a preference in Administration Manager (
