Remove the Policy Server

Removing the Policy Server involves deleting the SiteMinder installation directory and removing smprofile.ksh from .profile.

Note: Uninstalling the Policy Server will also remove the Policy Server Option Pack.

Important! Stop the Web Server and Policy Server before uninstalling the Policy Server from an HP-UX operating system. If you do not stop these servers, some Policy Server files remain after the installation.

To remove the Policy Server

1. In a console window, change to the <siteminder_installation>/install_config_info/nete-ps-uninstall directory

   siteminder_installation

   Specifies the directory where the Policy Server is installed.

2. Run the following command:

   ./uninstall
   

   If your JRE is not in the your PATH variable, run these two commands:

   • PATH=$PATH:<JRE>/bin

   JRE

   Specifies the location of your JRE.

   • export PATH
3. Press Enter to begin the uninstallation.

A status indicator shows that the Policy Server is being uninstalled. After finishing, the uninstaller indicates that the uninstallation went successfully.

To remove the siteminder directory

1. Change the directory to the one above the SiteMinder installation directory.

   Example: /export/smuser/netegrity, where the SiteMinder installation directory is /export/smuser/netegrity/siteminder.

2. Enter $ rm -rf siteminder, then press ENTER.

To remove smprofile.ksh

1. From your HOME directory, open .profile.
2. Locate and delete the line in .profile that contains smprofile.ksh.

   Example: ./export/smuser/siteminder/smprofile.ksh

3. Save .profile.
