9.1 Uninstalling the Identity Server

Uninstalling the Novell Identity Server is a two-step process:

  1. Removing the Identity Server from the Administration Console. See Section 9.1.1, Deleting Identity Server References.

  2. Removing the Identity Server software from the Linux or Windows machine. See Section 9.1.2, Uninstalling the Linux Identity Server or Section 9.1.3, Uninstalling the Windows Identity Server.

9.1.1 Deleting Identity Server References

As part of the full Identity Server uninstall process, you must delete the Identity Server from the Administration Console. The Identity Server must first be removed from the cluster configuration, then it can be deleted from the Administration Console. You must do this before removing the software from the machine.

  1. In the Administration Console, click Devices > Identity Servers.

  2. Select the Identity Server that you want uninstalled, then click Stop.

  3. Wait for its health to turn red, then select the server and click Actions > Remove from Cluster.

  4. Update the cluster configuration.

  5. Select the Identity Server that you are going to uninstall, then click Actions > Delete.

  6. Continue with Section 9.1.2, Uninstalling the Linux Identity Server or Section 9.1.3, Uninstalling the Windows Identity Server.

9.1.2 Uninstalling the Linux Identity Server

If you have installed the Identity Server with the Administration Console, you can select to uninstall only the Identity Server or to uninstall both.

  1. On your Linux Identity Server, insert the Access Manager installation CD.

  2. Navigate to the novell-access-manager-3.x directory.

  3. Enter ./uninstall.sh to initiate the uninstallation script.

  4. Select 2 to uninstall the Identity Server.

  5. Enter the name of the admin user.

  6. Enter the password of the admin user.

    Uninstall removes the Identity Server.

9.1.3 Uninstalling the Windows Identity Server

If you have installed the Identity Server with the Administration Console, you can select to uninstall only the Identity Server or to uninstall both.

  1. Exit any applications and disable any virus scanning programs.

  2. Access the Control Panel, click Add or Remove Programs, then select to remove the AccessManagerServer program.

  3. Read the introduction, then click Next.

  4. Specify the credentials for the admin user, then click Next.

  5. Select one of the following, then click Next.

    Complete Uninstall: Select this option if you have installed both the Identity Server and the Administration Console on the same machine and you want to uninstall both.

    Uninstall Specific Features: Select this option to uninstall only the Identity Server.

  6. (Conditional) If you selected to uninstall specific features, select one of the following, then click Uninstall.

    • Administration Console: Select this option to uninstall the Administration Console. You cannot uninstall the Administration Console without also uninstalling the Identity Server.

    • Identity Server: Select this option to uninstall only the Identity Server.

    If the unistall fails because the primary Administration Console is not available to validate the credentials, see Section A.11, Troubleshooting the Uninstall of the Windows Identity Server.

  7. (Conditional) If the Administration Console was installed with the Identity Server and you selected only to uninstall the Identity Server, reboot the machine.
