Exclude certificates from QKview file

Hi all,

 

I did some research and I released that the certificates and privates keys are included in a qkview file.(correct me if i'm wrong). I also checked the parameters of the qkview command through cli (qkview -h) where I wasn't able to spot any parameters in order to exclude the certificates. Does anyone know any way to accomplish that ?

 

Thanks in advance.

    Greetings, You may be thinking of the UCS which does gather SSL certs and keys for backup and recovery. The qkview file may have some meta information about the cert and key files, but not the files themselves.

     

    Optional: If you want to exclude SSL private keys from the UCS archive, use the following command syntax. Replace with the full path to the UCS archive file.

     

    save /sys ucs no-private-key
