Deleting the base entry on AIX

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

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 base entry:

1. Perform the following steps to delete the base entry from a realm before deleting the base entry:

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

   2. Enter a value for the following parameters under the VMM realm configuration heading:
      • realmName
      • deleteBaseEntry

   3. Save changes to wkplc.properties.

   4. Run...
      ./ConfigEngine.sh wp-delete-realm-baseentry -DWasPassword=password

      from the profile_root/ConfigEngine directory, to delete a base entry from a realm configuration.

   5. Cycle all necessary servers to propagate changes.

2. Edit...
   profile_root/ConfigEngine/properties/wkplc.properties

3. Enter a value for the following parameters under the VMM repository base entry configuration heading to create additional base entries within the LDAP user registry to use when creating realms:

   • id
   • baseDN
   • nameInRepository

4. Save changes to wkplc.properties.

5. Run...
   ./ConfigEngine.sh wp-delete-base-entry -DWasPassword=password

   from the profile_root/ConfigEngine directory, to delete a base entry from a repository.

6. 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 the enable-jcr-security task on the secondary node; see Enabling LDAP security after cluster creation.
