Deleting the LDAP entity type

If you changed your LDAP user registry and no longer require an entity type, you can delete it.

In a stand-alone server environment, you can complete the following task when the servers are either stopped or started. In a clustered environment, start the deployment manager and node agent. Then, verify that they are able to synchronize.

  1. Go to the wp_profile_root/ConfigEngine/properties directory.

  2. Open the wkplc.properties file with a text editor.

  3. Enter the following parameters under the VMM LDAP entity type configuration heading:

    Note

    Go to the properties file for specific information about the parameters.

    • et.ldap.id
    • et.entityTypeName
    • et.objectClass
    • et.searchFilter
    • et.objectClassesForCreate
    • et.searchBases

  4. Save your changes to the wkplc.properties file.

  5. Open a command prompt.

  6. Change to the wp_profile_root/ConfigEngine directory.

  7. Run the following task to delete an LDAP entity type:

    • AIX® HP-UX Linux™ Solaris: ./ConfigEngine.sh wp-delete-ldap-entitytype -DWasPassword=password
    • IBM® i: ConfigEngine.sh wp-delete-ldap-entitytype -DWasPassword=password
    • Windows™: ConfigEngine.bat wp-delete-ldap-entitytype -DWasPassword=password
    • z/OS®: ./ConfigEngine.sh wp-delete-ldap-entitytype -DWasPassword=password

  8. Stop and restart the appropriate servers to propagate the changes. For instructions, go to Starting and stopping servers, deployment managers, and node agents.
