Remove the Trusted Identity Provider from any Web Applications Using it

A trusted identity provider cannot be removed from SharePoint while any web applications are using it. Before you remove the trusted identity provider itself, remove the association between the CA SiteMinder® trusted identity provider and any of your web agents using it.

Follow these steps:

1. Log in to your SharePoint central administration server.
2. Click Start, Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Products, SharePoint 2010 Central Administration.

   The Central Administration home page opens.

3. Under Application Management, click Manage web applications.

   The web application management page opens.

4. Click the line corresponding to the name of a web application using the CA SiteMinder® trusted identity provider.

   The web application is selected.

5. On the ribbon, click Authentication Providers.

   The Authentication Providers dialog appears.

6. In the Authentication Providers dialog, click the link that corresponds to the zone of your web application. For example, if the web application using the CA SiteMinder® trusted identity provider is in the Intranet zone, click the Intranet link.

   The Edit Authentication page appears.

7. Under Claims Authentication types, clear all Trusted Identity provider check boxes.
8. Click Save.

   The CA SiteMinder® trusted identity provider is removed from the web application in the zone.

9. Repeat Steps 3 through 8 for all web applications and the zones using the CA SiteMinder® trusted identity provider.

   The trusted identity provider is removed from all web applications and their respective zones.
