uninstall_AC Utility—Remove CA Access Control from the Current Computer

Valid on UNIX

The uninstall_AC utility removes all or part of CA Access Control from the station on which you execute the command. The default (‑all) removes the entire product from the station.

Note: The CA Access Control kernel extension should be unloaded prior to uninstall.

This command has the following syntax:

uninstall_AC [-all | -admin] [-f] [-force] [-h] [-ignore_dep] [-d path] [-fn file]

-admin

Removes only administration tools such as Security Administrator and seauditx from the station.

Note: The admin package is no longer included with CA Access Control. This option is used for removing older versions of CA Access Control.

‑all

Removes the entire product from the station.

-d path

Defines the directory where CA Access Control is installed.

Note: If CA Access Control is installed in the default directory (/opt/CA/AccessControl ) you do not need to specify this option.

-f

Removes CA Access Control in silent mode.

-fn file

Executes the specified file after the uninstall completes.

-force

Forces uninstall to proceed even if the kernel extension unload process fails.

‑h

Displays the help for this utility.

-ignore_dep

Specifies that the uninstallation procedure will not check for dependency with other products.
