Managing Keys Managing your keyring Note: If you specify a user ID that matches more than one key, and did not specify --multi on the command line, an error message appears. To remove someone's public key from your keyring: 1 Enter the following command at the command line: ebs --key-remove For example, suppose you want to remove Gina Marala's key from your public keyring. ebs --key-remove "Gina Marala" E-Business Server prompts you to confirm you want to remove the key. 2 Enter y to delete the key. E-Business Server removes the key from your keyring. Removing a key pair from your keyring If the key that you want to delete is part of your key pair, add the --with-private modifier to the --key-remove option. To remove a key pair from your keyring: 1 Enter the following command at the command line: ebs --key-remove --with-private For example, suppose you want to remove a test key pair from your keyring. ebs --key-remove "Test 1" --with-private E-Business Server prompts you to confirm you want to remove the private key. 2 Enter y to delete the key. E-Business Server deletes the private portion from the private keyring as well as the public portion from the public keyring. Removing all keys from your smart card Note: The smart card must be in your smart card reader. Removing your smart card from the smart card reader while wiping it, may result in unpredictable behavior. Before you generate a E-Business Server key pair on a smart card, you should specify the smart card type in the configuration file, pgp.cfg. If you do not specify the smart card type in the configuration file using the SMARTCARD-TYPE parameter, then you must add the --smartcard-type modifier to the command line each time you perform an operation on a smart card. For more information, see SMARTCARD-TYPE on page 105. To wipe the contents of your smart card, use the --smartcard modifier with the --wipe option. This deletes all keys and data from your smart card. Optionally, you can specify your smart card PIN number on the command line. ebs --wipe --smartcard [--pin ] For information on how to view the contents of your smart card, see Viewing your keys on page 28. For more information on various ways to supply E-Business Server with your passphrase, see Alternative ways to work with passphrases on page 72. Removing a specific key pair from your smart card Note: The smart card must be in your smart card reader. To delete specific key pair from your smart card, use the --smartcard modifier with the --key-remove option. This deletes only the matching keys from your smart card. Optionally, you can specify your smart card PIN number on the command line. ebs --key-remove ... --smartcard [--pin ] 31 E-Business Server™ 8.6 Product Guide
