3.4 Removing the Landing Portal

The landing portal is enabled by default during the installation of Access Manager Appliance. This portal is a single place for launching Administration Console and Access Manager Appliance help. The portal also has a sample application, which can be configured to start learning Access Manager capabilities quickly. You can experiment with the portal as long as it is not in production. We recommend you to remove the landing portal because it is visible for the users.

Perform the following steps to remove the landing portal after you have verified all your configurations in a staging environment:

  1. In the Administration Console, click Access Gateway > Edit > NAM - RP.

  2. Select the namportal path based service.

  3. Click Delete.

  4. Click Protected Resources.

    Delete the following protected resources:

    • portal

    • portal_public

  5. Click OK until the Access Gateway Servers page appears.

  6. Click Update.

  7. In the Administration Console, click Devices > Identity Servers > Servers > Edit > Roles.

  8. To disable the role policy, select the role policy check box, select the role role_assignment from the Roles Policy List, then click Disable.

  9. Click OK > Update.

  10. To remove the user portal web application from the Access Manager Appliance filesystem, perform the following steps:

    1. Log in to Access Gateway Appliance using any SSH client (for example, SSH in Linux, and PuTTY in Windows).

    2. Stop the portal using the /opt/novell/nam/namportal/bin/shutdownNP.sh command.

    3. Go to the portal directory by running the cd /opt/novell/nam/ command.

    4. Remove the portal by running the rm -rf namportal command.

    5. Restart the Administration Console by running the /etc/init.d/novell-ac restart command.

  11. The portal creates two default users Alice and Bob in the Appliance Configuration store.

    You can remove the users by performing the following steps:

    1. In the Administration Console, click Roles and Tasks > Users > Delete User.

    2. In the Delete User page, specify the Object Name as bob.novell to delete Bob and alice.novell to delete Alice.

    3. Click Ok.
