Oleg,

Are you talking about removing certificate records from the Dogtag internal directory server?

First of all, you are not supposed to remove unexpired revoked certs from the internal db as that's where CRL's are built.

However, if "old" means "expired" certificates, then I imagine you could use ldapmodify to do that.  You can probably write a script to do that as a cron job. You can "man ldapmodify" to see the documentation.

Now, if you are talking about removing expired certs from a publishing directory, there is a job called "UnpublishExpiredJob" that can be turned on to "unpublish"(remove) them from the publishing directory for you periodically:
https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Certificate_System/8.1/html/Admin_Guide/Setting_up_Specific_Jobs.html#Configuration_Parameters_of_unpublishExpiredCerts

Hope that answered your question.
Christina

Hi!

Could anyone point me at documentation regarding physical removal of "old" revoked certificates from the system (db)?
I looked at the redhat & dogtag documentation online but didn't find any relevant info...

With thanks,
Oleg
