API calls vary depending on the object you are trying to delete

To remove

Follow these steps

A single certificate

 Call DELETE Certificates/{guid}.

All certificates in a policy folder
  1. Call POST Config/FindObjectsOfClass with Classes:[{X509 Server Certificate}], the ObjectDN of the policy folder, and the Recursive = 1 parameter values.
  2. Call POST Config/Read and get the Certificate Vault Id, CSR Vault Id, and Private Key Vault Id.
  3. For each certificate, clean up any references to Secret Store items with POST SecretStore/OwnerDelete.
  4. For each certificate, call POST Config/Delete with just the certificate ObjectDN. In this case, avoid the Recursive parameter.
A device and its associated SSH keys
  1. Call POST SecretStore/OwnerDelete with config as the Namespace and a Device DN as the Owner to remove all Secret Store associations for the device.
  2. Call POST Config/Delete to remove the device from the Policy tree.

A Discovery Job

Call DELETE Discovery/{guid}.
