Deleting the LDAP group member on Linux

If you made changes to your LDAP user registry and no longer require the group member that you created, you can delete the group member from the LDAP user registry.

In a single server environment the WebSphere_Portal and server1 servers can be either stopped or started.

In a clustered environment stop all appservers on the system including WebSphere_Portal and server1 and then start the nodeagent and deployment manager servers before starting the following task.

Perform the following steps to delete the LDAP user registry group member:

1. Edit...
   profile_root/ConfigEngine/properties/wkplc.properties

2. Enter a value for the following parameters under the VMM LDAP group member attribute configuration heading:
   • gm.ldap.id
   • gm.groupMemberName

3. Save changes to wkplc.properties.

4. Run...
   ./ConfigEngine.sh wp-delete-ldap-groupmember -DWasPassword=password

   from the profile_root/ConfigEngine directory, to delete the group member information for your LDAP user registry.

5. Propagate the security changes:

   Option	Description
   Standalone	cd profile_root/bin ./stopServer.sh server1 -username admin_userid -password admin_password ./stopServer.sh WebSphere_Portal -username admin_userid -password admin_password ./startServer.sh server1 ./startServer.sh WebSphere_Portal
   Cluster	cd dmgr_profile/bin ./stopManager.sh-username admin_userid -password admin_password cd profile_root/bin ./stopNode.sh -username admin_userid -password admin_password ./stopServer.sh WebSphere_Portal -username admin_userid -password admin_password cd dmgr_profile/bin ./startManager.sh cd profile_root/bin ./startNode.sh ./startServer.sh WebSphere_Portal

If you performed these steps after creating the clustered environment, run enable-jcr-security on the secondary node.
