Deleting client certificates by using hclscp links

Simplify the deletion of client certificates by using hclscp links.

About this task

Using an hclscp link, delete all certificates that have been imported for Connections by using the hclscp protocol. Optionally, specify the import of a new certificate after deleting the existing certificates.

Procedure

If you want to be able to import a new certificate after the delete operation, store the client certificate p12 file on a server where it can be accessed with an HTTPS link from the Connections mobile app.

You can also distribute client certificates by using hclscp links. For more information, see the Importing client certificates by using hclscp links topic.
To delete all certificates that have been imported for HCL Connections:
```
hclscp://com.hcl.connectons/importcert?action=DeleteAll
```
To delete all certificates that have been imported for Connections then import a new certificate:
```
hclscp://com.hcl.connections/importcert?url=<encode_p12_certificate_file_url>&action=DeleteAll
```

Email the hclscp link to your users. For example:

For example:

hclscp://com.hcl.connections/importcert?url=http%3A%2F%2Fconnections.example.com%2Fcertificates%2Fuser1.p12&action=DeleteAll

Provide the following instruction to your mobile users:
1. From your device, tap the hclscp link. The Connections app opens and prompts you to enter the password for the certificate.
  - (Android only) When prompted, enter an alias for the certificate.
  - (iOS only) A confirmation message verifies that the certificates were successfully deleted.
2. To import a new certificate, open the Connections mobile app and create an account.
  - (Android only) When prompted, select the alias for the certificate that you imported.
  - (iOS only) When prompted, select the certificate that you imported and enter the password.
If there are no certificates, DeleteAll does nothing.
On Android, DeleteAll will not delete the certifications from the Certificate Storage. It deletes the associated aliases tracked by the Connections app.
