3.8 Deleting a Login Method

The NMAS iManager plug-ins and ConsoleOne snap-ins do not allow you to delete a login method if that method is part of any login sequence. The default installation of a login method creates a login sequence containing only that method. As a result, most methods exist in at least one sequence.

NOTE:nmasinst does not have an option to remove NMAS methods. It must be done through iManager or ConsoleOne.

To delete a login method, you must complete the following two procedures:

3.8.1 Removing the Login Method from Any Login Sequence

To use ConsoleOne to remove the login method for any login sequence:

  1. In ConsoleOne, click the Security container, right-click the Login Policy, then select Properties.

  2. Click General.

  3. For each sequence in the Defined Login Sequences drop-down list:

    1. Select the sequence.

    2. Verify that the login method you will be deleting is not listed in the Selected Login Methods or Selected Post-Login Methods lists.

    3. If the login method is listed as one of the selected methods, you can move it from the list by selecting it and clicking the left-arrow.

To use iManager to remove the login method for any login sequence:

  1. In iManager, click NMAS > NMAS Login Sequences.

  2. For each sequence in the NMAS Login Sequences list:

    1. Click the sequence name.

    2. Verify that the login method you will be deleting is not listed in the Login Methods or Post-Login Methods lists.

    3. If the login method is listed as one of the selected methods, you can move it from the list by selecting it and clicking the left-arrow.

When the login method has been removed from all login sequences, you can then delete it. See Section 3.8.2, Deleting the Login Method.
