CA certificates
CA certificates don't include a private key and are distributed to all Redtrust agents once the agent logs in and approves an application connection. These certificates are installed in each machine's local registry as trusted root entities. Updates are performed when a new certificate are added.
Deleting a certificate, doesn't affect the agents, as they retain the already installed CA certificates.
