Uninstalling the Liberty Identity Provider Software

If you need to uninstall your Liberty identity provider, you must make sure you delete all the associated files with it. This is especially important if you plan to reinstall the IDP once it has been uninstalled.

To uninstall the Liberty IDP:

  1. Go to your Windows Start menu, then click Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs.

  2. From the list, remove all Apache, iManager, and Tomcat components using the Remove button.

  3. Remove the Novell Liberty Identity Provider for Novell eDirectory program.

    1. Launch the Uninstall wizard by clicking the Remove button.

    2. Click Uninstall.

    3. If there are components that cannot be removed, the wizard will provide a list of these components. Take note of their locations, then click Done.

    4. Delete the remaining components that were listed in the wizard.

    5. Click Close to exit the Add/Remove Programs dialog.

  4. Delete the Tomcat, Apache, and other Liberty components located in the folder you created during the installation. By default, this folder is located at C:\Program Files\Novell.

  5. Delete all of the files in your Temp folder, located at C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\local settings\temp directory.

    The <user> variable will change depending on your Windows version. Also, the local settings directory is hidden by default. To display hidden files, go to MS Explorer > Tools > Folder Options, then click the View tab. Under the Hidden files and folders option, select Show All Files, then click Apply.

    IMPORTANT:  If you are doing repeated Liberty IDP installations, you should delete all of the files in your Temp directory to save disk space.
