Deleting a Login Method

The NMAS ConsoleOne snap-ins will not allow you to delete a login method if that method is part of any login sequence. The default installation of a login method creates a login sequence containing only that method. As a result, most methods exist in at least one sequence.

To delete a login method, you must complete the following two procedures:

• Remove the Login Method from Any Login Sequence
• Delete the Login Method

Remove the Login Method from Any Login Sequence

1. In ConsoleOne, click the Security container, right-click the Login Policy, then select Properties.

2. Click General.

3. For each sequence in the Defined Login Sequences drop-down list:

   1. Select the sequence.

   2. Verify that the login method you will be deleting is not listed in the Selected Login Methods or Selected Post-Login Methods lists.

   3. If the login method is listed as one of the selected methods, you can move it from the list by highlighting it and clicking the left-arrow.

When the login method has been removed from all login sequences, you can then delete it.

Delete the Login Method

1. In ConsoleOne, click the Security container and select either the Authorized Login Methods container or the Authorized Post Login Methods container, depending on the type of method you are deleting.

2. Select the login method you want to delete.

3. Press the Delete key, then click Yes.
