After you have installed and used Computer Associates eTrust SiteMinder, you may find that
you no longer require its use. You can then remove it from the IBM® WebSphere® Portal environment and restore
authentication capabilities to IBM WebSphere Application Server and authorization
capabilities to WebSphere Portal.
About this task
Perform the following steps to remove eTrust SiteMinder from the WebSphere Portal environment:Procedure
- Perform the following steps if you used eTrust SiteMinder for authorization:
- Use either the Resource Permissions portlet or, if you
are set up to execute it, the XML Configuration Interface (xmlaccess)
to internalize any resources managed by eTrust SiteMinder.
- Open a UNIX System Services
(z/OS UNIX System Services) command prompt.
Note: If you are instructed to open a properties file, the files
are ASCII files and should be opened with the appropriate tool.
- Edit the wp_profile_root/PortalServer/config/config/services.properties file
and change the value of com.ibm.wps.services.ac.ExternalAccessControlService to com.ibm.wps.ac.impl.ExternalAccessControlDefaultImpl.
Note: In a cluster environment, you must edit the services.properties file
on all nodes.
- Change the enableExternalization property
to false in the External Access Control Service.
This will prevent the Externalize/Internalize icon from appearing
in the Administration Access portlet after removing eTrust SiteMinder.
- If you previously disabled the ability to create users
through WebSphere Portal, restore
it. Re-enable WebSphere Portal auto-registration. Restore
the backup copy of the theme as appropriate to remove any features
specific to eTrust SiteMinder.

the eTrust SiteMinder TAI module
from the WebSphere Application
Server console:

Server Administration
Console, click .
- Select the eTrust SiteMinder TAI
module and then click Delete.
- Click OK and then click Save.
- Stop and restart the appropriate servers
to propagate the changes. For specific instructions, see Starting and stopping servers, deployment managers, and node agents.
