25.1 Uninstalling the Identity Vault

Before you uninstall the Identity Vault, you must understand your OpenText eDirectory tree structure and replica placements. For example, you should know whether you have more than one server in the tree.

  1. (Conditional) If you have more than one server in your OpenText eDirectory tree, complete the following steps:

    1. (Conditional) If the server where you installed OpenText eDirectory holds any master replicas, promote another server in the replica ring to be a master before you remove OpenText eDirectory.

      For more information, see Managing Partitions and Replicas in theeDirectory Administration Guide.

    2. (Conditional) If the tree on the server where you installed OpenText eDirectory holds the only copy of a partition, either merge this partition into the parent partition or add a replica of this partition to another server and make it the master replica holder.

      For more information, see Managing Partitions and Replicas in theOpenText eDirectory Administration Guide.

    3. Perform a health check on the OpenText eDirectory database. Fix any errors that occur before proceeding.

      For more information, see Keeping eDirectory Healthy in theOpenText eDirectory Administration Guide.

  2. Uninstall the Identity Vault:

    Use the Control Panel utility for adding and removing programs. For example, on Windows Server 2012 R2, click Programs and Features. Right-click OpenText eDirectory, then click Uninstall.

  3. (Conditional) If you have more than one server in your eDirectory tree, complete the following steps:

    1. Delete any server-specific objects left in the tree.

    2. Perform another health check to verify that the server was properly removed from the tree.
