This command clears the Manager-Sensor trust data (the certificates and the shared key value). Every time you delete a Sensor from the Manager, you must issue this command on the Sensor to clear the established trust relationship before reconfiguring the Sensor.

This command has no parameters.

Syntax:

deinstall

On executing the command, the following messages are displayed if the Sensor has CA-signed certificate:

Do you want to retain the current CA signed certificate chain ?

Enter Y/y(for yes) or N/n(for no): Y

Note

If you enter Y, the CA-signed certificate chain for the Sensor is retained. If you enter N, both the current Sensor CA-signed certificate and self-signed certificate will be removed along with the trust.

Pressing Y displays the following message:

deinstall the sensor and remove the trust with the manager ?

Please enter Y to confirm: Y

Note

If you enter Y, the Manager-Sensor trust is removed. If you enter N, the Manager-Sensor trust remains intact and you exit the deinstall prompt.
