9.1 Uninstalling Identity Server

Uninstalling Identity Server is a two-step process:

  1. Removing Identity Server from 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 Identity Server from Administration Console. Identity Server must first be removed from the cluster configuration, then it can be deleted from Administration Console. You must do this before removing the software from the machine.

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

  2. Select 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 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 Identity Server with Administration Console, you can select to uninstall only Identity Server or to uninstall both.

  1. Unzip the tar.gz file by using the following command:

    tar -xzvf <filename>

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

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

  4. Select 2 to uninstall Identity Server.

  5. Enter the name and password of the admin user. (When Administration Console and Identity Server are installed on the same server)

    Uninstall removes Identity Server. A log file is created at /tmp/novell_access_manager/uninstall.log.

9.1.3 Uninstalling the Windows Identity Server

If you have installed Identity Server with Administration Console, you can select to uninstall only 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 Identity Server and Administration Console on the same machine and you want to uninstall both.

    Uninstall Specific Features: Select this option to uninstall only 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 Administration Console. You cannot uninstall Administration Console without uninstalling Identity Server.

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

    If the uninstall fails because the primary Administration Console is not available to validate the credentials, see Uninstalling the Windows Identity Server.

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