💅 c8y — devicemanagement certificates delete

okay so bestie, first things first: the manual page header says c8y(1) and honestly that's just the family name, the whole c8y CLI crew 🫶. This particular page is all about c8y-devicemanagement-certificates-delete — the "Delete device certificate" one. And yeah, there's a date-and-version thing at the bottom (Jan 1980, c8y(1)) — we'll get to that in the sign-off, don't worry 🎀.

✨ NAME ✨

c8y-devicemanagement-certificates-delete — literally just: delete a device certificate. That's the whole gig 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

c8y devicemanagement certificates delete [flags]

that's it, that's the shape of it ✨

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So what this does: it removes a trusted device certificate. And like… the consequences are not subtle, bestie. All devices connected to the platform will no longer be able to communicate. 😭 Not a soft "oh no my connection is flaky" — a full-on, no-more-talking situation. So maybe double-check before you send it. Just saying. 🫶

💖 OPTIONS 💖

  • -h, --help[=false] — shows the help for delete. the classic "what does this even do" button 🌈
  • --id=[] — the certificate fingerprint or name. and yes it accepts a pipeline, so you can pipe those ids in 🎀
  • --processingMode="" — the Cumulocity processing mode ✨
  • --tenant="" — the tenant id 👑

🧚 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🧚

🔥 EXAMPLE 🔥

by fingerprint, bestie:

Remove trusted device certificate by id/fingerprint

by name, also valid:

$ c8y devicemanagement certificates delete --id MyCert
Remove trusted device certificate by name

see? two ways, same energy ✨
