Unable to delete certificate request (error -13009)

I have an NWA130BE running in standalone mode. While replacing an expired certificate, I had experimented with creating a CSR. Fortunately, I have the new certificate in place and working.

However, curiosity had gotten the best of me. I now have a request that I cannot delete. When I try to remove it, an error is returned:

CLI Number: 0
Error Number: -13009
Error Message: 'PKI certificate does not exist.'

I have attempted to sign the CSR and import it to satisfy the request, but it never associates it. It complains with a -13008 error and 'PKI key does not exist'. It appears that the device thinks there should be a certificate for it already and will not allow it to be deleted if it does not exist.

Without wiping the device, is there a way to delete the CSR through the UI or CLI?

    Hi @scf,

    Thank you for your patience!

    After checking, you can use the following commands to check the certificate file information and delete the file. Once applied, it will disappear from the Web GUI as well.

    Router> show ca category local

    Router> configure terminal

    Router(config)# no ca category local <certificate_name>

    Hi Tina,

    Sorry for the wait. I did not know you had responded.

    Unfortunately, using the CLI did not help. It has the same error number:

    retval = -13009

    ERROR: PKI certificate does not exist.

    Hi @scf,

    Thank you for the update.

    As a new firmware version has recently been released, could you please first confirm whether your NWA130BE is running the latest firmware, V7.40(ACIL.1)C0?

    In addition, please provide the exact CLI command you used and the steps you followed when the error occurred. If possible, please also share a screenshot of the error message and any other relevant information so that we can further investigate the issue.
