Uninstalling SecretStore

Uninstalling SecretStore on NetWare Servers

You can't uninstall SecretStore from a server. However, you can disable SecretStore.

1. At the server console, unload SecretStore modules from the server.

   • nldap.nlm (LDAP for NDS)
   • ssncp.nlm (The Novell SecretStore NCP Transport plug-in)
   • ssldp.nlm (the Novell SecretStore LDAP Transport plug-in)

     You must unload ssldp.nlm and ssncp.nlm before you can unload sss.nlm.

   • sss.nlm (the SecretStore service)

2. At a workstation and while logged in as system administrator, map a drive to sys\system: for the server where SecretStore is running.

3. Rename or remove SecretStore NLM files.

   • ssncp.nlm
   • ssldp.nlm
   • sss.nlm

4. In the autoexec.ncf file, comment out or remove the commands that load SecretStore modules.

   If the server is running ldap, simply removing commands from the autoexec.ncf file won't prevent the SecretStore NLMs from loading.

5. Reboot the server.

Although you uninstall SecretStore from a Windows server or disable SecretStore from a NetWare server, the following SecretStore items remain:

• The SecretStore container (the sssServerPolicy object) created by the installation.
• Override (sssServerPolicyOverride) objects that you created.
• Schema extensions.
• Any instantiated SecretStore attributes on User objects.

   Specify the deconfigure option -d as follows:

   /usr/sbin/ssscfg [-h hostname[:port]] [-w password]

   [-a <admin FDN>] -d [-f] [-v]

3. Run the ss-uninstall utility.

Uninstalling SecretStore on Workstations
