server task virtualhost remove

The server task virtualhost remove command removes the specified server from a virtual host junction.

Requires authentication (administrator ID and password) to use.

server task instance-webseald-host virtualhost remove -i server_uuid vhost_label

Options

instance-webseald-host

Full server name of the installed WebSEAL instance. Specify in the exact format as displayed in the output of the server list command.

The instance_name specifies the configured name of the WebSEAL instance. The webseald designation indicates the WebSEAL service performs the command task. The host_name is the name of the physical machine where the WebSEAL server is installed.

For example, if the configured name of a single WebSEAL instance is default, and host machine name where the WebSEAL server is installed is abc.ibm.com, the full WebSEAL server name is default-webseald-abc.ibm.com.

If an additional WebSEAL instance is configured and named web2, the full WebSEAL server name is web2-webseald-abc.ibm.com.

-i server_uuid

UUID of the server to be removed from the virtual host junction. For this command, the -i option, normally used to treat URLs as case-sensitive,operates like the -u option. See the server task show command for details about obtaining the UUID.

vhost_label

Label name of the virtual host junction.

Authorization

Users and groups that require access to this command must be given the c (control) permission in the ACL that governs the /WebSEAL/host_name-instance_name/@vhost_label object. For example, the sec_master administrative user has permission by default.

Return codes

0

The command completed successfully. For WebSEAL server task commands, the return code becomes 0 when the command is sent to the WebSEAL server without errors. Even if the command was successfully sent, the WebSEAL server might not be able to successfully complete the command and can return an error message.

1

The command failed. See "Error messages" in the IBM Knowledge Center which provides a list of the ISAM error messages by decimal or hexadecimal codes.

Examples

The following example removes the junctioned server int4.ibm.com from the virtual host junction support-vhost-https. To determine the UUID of the server to be removed, run the server task virtualhost show command):

pdadmin> server task default-webseald-abc.ibm.com virtualhost show support-vhost-https
