vCenter 6.5 cannot delete certificate under STS Signing

A certificate was added into 'Administrator' -> 'Single Sign-On' -> Configuration -> 'STS Signing' by Web client.

Then new certificate was add as "Chain 2".

I tried to delete it by built-in function: "Delete STS Signing Certificate" under 'STS Signing',

error msg:

'The last operation failed for the entity with the following error message.

Certificate 'CN=...... C=US' cannot be deleted.'

Any advise how can i delete the certificate? Thank you very much for your help.

Tried to stop the STS service first. However, all certificate under 'STS Signing' will disappear.

vecs-cli entry delete or jxplorer is an option. Open a SR with GSS for them to take a look.

Thanks so much for your reply, Vijay2027.

Cannot find the imported certificate by vecs-cli. All certificate in cert. store were VMware built-in certificate.
