Uninstall Directory Packages Using the Script dxuninst.sh on UNIX

On UNIX, the script dxuninst.sh lets you remove CA Directory packages.

The script dxuninst.sh does not remove any of the supporting products, including JXplorer and JRE.

When the uninstall process backs up the data files, it removes the original files.

To uninstall using the script dxuninst.sh

1. Log in as root.
2. Enter the following command from DXHOME/uninstall:

   ./dxuninst.sh 
   

   The script displays the installed CA Directory packages.

3. Enter the package number of the package you want to uninstall.

   The uninstallation script for the selected package begins.

4. When prompted, enter the path to store a backup of the data files.

dxuninst Command

The uninstallation script has the following format:

./dxuninst.sh [-dxuser non-dsa-user] [-silent]

-dxuser non-dsa-user

(Optional) Defines a directory administrator to remove during uninstallation.

The script assumes that the DXserver administrator user ID is dsa. If you created a different user ID during installation, you need to specify this user during the uninstallation. When the script runs, if it fails to find the default DXserver administrator, it prompts you to specify the user ID.

-silent

(Optional) Specifies that the uninstallation runs in silent mode (no user prompts or feedback).
