Remove eTrust SiteMinder

After you have installed and used Computer Associates eTrust SiteMinder, you may find that you no longer require its use. You can then remove it from the WebSphere Portal environment and restore authentication capabilities to IBM WAS and authorization capabilities to WebSphere Portal.

To remove eTrust SiteMinder from the WebSphere Portal environment:

  1. If you used eTrust SiteMinder for authorization:

    1. Use either the Resource Permissions portlet or, if you are set up to execute it, the XML Configuration Interface (xmlaccess) to internalize any resources managed by eTrust SiteMinder.

    2. Edit the WP_PROFILE/PortalServer/config/config/services.properties file and change the value of com.ibm.wps.services.ac.ExternalAccessControlService to com.ibm.wps.ac.impl.ExternalAccessControlDefaultImpl.

        In a cluster environment, edit the services.properties file on all nodes.

    3. Change the enableExternalization property to false in the External Access Control Service. This will prevent the Externalize/Internalize icon from appearing in the Administration Access portlet after removing eTrust SiteMinder.

  2. If you previously disabled the ability to create users through WebSphere Portal, restore it. Re-enable WebSphere Portal auto-registration. Restore the backup copy of the theme as appropriate to remove any features specific to eTrust SiteMinder.

  3. Optional. Complete the following steps to remove the eTrust SiteMinder TAI module from the WAS console:

    1. In the WAS Administration Console, click Securiry -> Global security -> Web and SIP security -> Trust association -> Interceptors..

    2. Select the eTrust SiteMinder TAI module and then click Delete.

    3. Click OK and then click Save.

  4. Stop and restart the appropriate servers to propagate the changes.

  5. If necessary, uninstall any Computer Associates components.
