Note on usage
Function: Delete a key pair set
User group: FT administrator
The command can only be specified under TSO.
Functional description
Using the FTDELKEY command, you are deleting the key pair set of a reference. The key pair consists of a private key, which is internally administered by openFT, and a public key.
Public keys are stored under:
<openft qualifier>.<inst>.SYSPKF.R<key reference>.L<key length>
Here, the first two name parts are replaced by OPENFT QUALIFIER and the name of the instance.
The key reference is a numeric designator for the version of the key pair. For each reference there are three keys with lengths of 768, 1024 and 2048 bits respectively.
A key pair set should only be deleted if no partner system uses the corresponding public key any longer. This means that, after creating a new key pair set using FTCREKEY, the new public key should be made available to all of the partner systems in which the local system is to be authenticated.
There should always be at least one key pair set in your openFT instance, otherwise all requests will be carried out in unencrypted form.
