Delete the base entry on AIX

If you made changes to the LDAP user registry and no longer require a base entry that you created, we can delete it.

In a clustered environment, start the dmgr and nodeagent and verify they are able to synchronize.

Delete the base entry

1. To delete the base entry from a realm before deleting the base entry:

   1. Edit wkplc.properties

   2. For realmName, set the name of the realm to query.

   3. Save changes to wkplc.properties.

   4. List the base entries for a specific realm...
      ./ConfigEngine.sh wp-query-realm-baseentry

   5. Edit wkplc.properties

   6. Set the following required parameters under the VMM realm configuration heading:
      • realmName
      • deleteBaseEntry

   7. Save changes to wkplc.properties.

   8. Delete a base entry from a realm configuration...
      ./ConfigEngine.sh wp-delete-realm-baseentry -DWasPassword=foo
      
      

   9. Stop and restart all necessary servers to propagate the changes.
      

2. Edit wkplc.properties

3. Set the following parameters:

   • id
   • baseDN
   • nameInRepository

4. Save changes to wkplc.properties.

5. Delete a base entry from a repository...
   ./ConfigEngine.sh wp-delete-base-entry -DWasPassword=foo

6. Stop and restart servers, dmgrs, and node agents.

If you created the clustered environment, including the additional nodes, and then completed the steps in this task, run update-jcr-admin on the secondary nodes.
