Revoke authority to an instance

To revoke authority to objects and directories in an instance, run the rvkwasaut script from the Qshell command line. To run the script, follow these steps:

1. On the OS/400 command line, run the STRQSH (Start Qshell) command.

2. On the Qshell command line, use the cd command to change to the directory that contains the script:

   cd /QIBM/ProdData/WebAS5/edition/bin

   where edition is Base for WebSphere Application Server and ND for WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment.

3. Run the rvkwasaut script:

   rvkwasaut -instance instance [ -user usrprf | -authlist authlist ]

   where instance is the instance to which you want are revoking authority, usrprf is the user profile from which you are revoking authority, and authlist is the authorization list from which you are revoking authority. You do not need to specify both the -user and -authlist parameters, but specify at least one of them. For more information on the rvkwasaut script and additional parameters, see The rvkwasaut script.

Examples

In this example, the user profile jsmith no longer has authority to the instance devinst.

rvkwasaut -instance devinst -user jsmith -recursive

In this example, the user profile jsmith no longer has authority to the installedApps subdirectory and all nested objects in the installedApps subdirectory.

rvkwasaut -instance devinst -object installedApps -user jsmith -recursive
