# Update CA

Available in Classic and VPC

Change the CA status.

## Request

The following describes the request format for the endpoint. The request format is as follows:

| Method | URI |
| --- | --- |
| PUT | /api/v1/ca/{caTag} |

### Request headers

For information about the headers common to all CA APIs, see [CA request headers](/docs/en/security-privateca#%EC%9A%94%EC%B2%AD%ED%97%A4%EB%8D%94).

### Request path parameters

You can use the following path parameters with your request:

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `caTag` | String | Required | CA tag value - See [Get CA list](/docs/en/security-privateca-getcalist) |

### Request body

The following describes the request body.

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `status` | String | Required | CA status - `ACTIVE` \| `DEACTIVATED` \| `DESTROYING` - `ACTIVE`: enabled - `DEACTIVATED`: disabled - `DESTROYING`: scheduled for deletion |

Caution

If you change the status to `DESTROYING`, the CA and its subordinate CAs are automatically deleted after a 72-hour deletion waiting period. This process does not take into account the operational status or expiration of any certificates issued by the CA. The private key of a deleted CA is permanently deleted and can't be recovered, so use caution when deciding to delete a CA. Also, a deleted CA is no longer trusted, and any certificates issued by that CA can't be used for authentication purposes.

### Request example

The following is a sample request.

```
curl --location --request PUT 'https://pca.apigw.ntruss.com/api/v1/ca/********-********' \
--header 'x-ncp-apigw-timestamp: {Timestamp}' \
--header 'x-ncp-iam-access-key: {Access Key}' \
