Change the issuer or name of a certificate
TLSPilot does not take over certificates that were created outside TLSPilot. To manage such a certificate, issue it again in TLSPilot and deploy it to the targets, which replaces the existing certificate.
- 13.2
Delete a certificate
Right-click the certificate and choose Delete… To revoke the certificate at the same time, switch on Also revoke at the issuing CA and select the Revocation reason.
- 13.3
Versions of a certificate
Each renewal creates a new version of the certificate. To see the versions, double-click the certificate and open the tab Details.
- 13.4
Revoke a certificate
You revoke a single version of a certificate on the tab Details.
- 13.5
Renew a certificate early
To renew a certificate before its renewal window is reached, right-click it and choose Force renew… TLSPilot contacts the issuing CA even if the certificate is valid.

Roll back to a previous version
If a new version causes problems, you can return to a retained previous version that is neither revoked nor expired and has no pending revocation.
