Use the following sections to uninstall Tivoli Directory Server.
Notes:
If you uninstall Tivoli Directory Server without unconfiguring your databases or
deleting your directory server instances, they are left intact. If
you plan to install Tivoli Directory Server again and you want to preserve your data,
do not unconfigure the database or remove the directory server instance
or instances before you uninstall.
The idsldap user and group are left on the system after you uninstall Tivoli Directory Server.
Consider the following information when uninstalling on AIX®, Linux,
or Solaris systems:
If you do not want this user and group defined, you can remove
them using operating system utilities for your operating system. This
user and group are needed by both the proxy and the full directory
server and they must remain defined if you have either server installed.
If you remove the idsldap user but
do not remove the idsldap user's home directory, problems can
occur when the idsldap user is created if you reinstall Tivoli Directory Server. Therefore,
be sure to remove the idsldap user's home directory if you remove
the idsldap user.
For example, if you use the userdel command
to remove the idsldap user, be sure to use the -r option
to remove the home directory also (for example, userdel -r idsldap).
On Windows systems,
the Administration Server and Server services are removed when you
uninstall, and they are not replaced if you reinstall Tivoli Directory Server. You can
use the idsslapd command to add the Server service
and the idsdiradm command to add the Administration
Server service. See the IBM® Tivoli® Directory
Server Version 6.3 Command Reference for information.
