Hi @John Johnson ,

 

Yes, it is generally safe to delete PEM and CER certificates from your instance that are set to "Active=False." These certificates are not actively being used by the instance, so deleting them should not have any impact on the operation of your instance.

 

However, before deleting any certificates, it's a good practice to double-check that they are indeed inactive and not being used by any integrations, applications, or other parts of your instance. You can review any documentation or configuration related to these certificates to ensure they are no longer needed.

 

Additionally, if you are uncertain about deleting any certificates or if they are associated with critical services or applications, you may want to consult with your organization's ServiceNow administrator or security team for guidance before proceeding with the deletion.

 

Thanks,

Danish
