DESCRIPTION

Scans SSL certkey objects, generated binding resources, selected global references, linked certificates, SAML actions, SSL DH file references, and the running configuration before removing anything. A certkey or file is only removed when no detected configuration reference remains.

EXAMPLES

EXAMPLE 1

Invoke-NSCleanCertKeyFiles -ManagementUrl 'https://ns-01.domain.local' -Credential (Get-Credential) -Backup -WhatIf

EXAMPLE 2

$session = Connect-NSNode -ManagementUrl 'https://ns-01.domain.local' -Credential (Get-Credential) -HA -PassThru

Invoke-NSCleanCertKeyFiles -Session $session -PassThru
