2.4. Uninstalling an IdM Server
Note
At domain level
0, the procedure is different. See Section D.3.6, “Removing a Replica”.
Prerequisites
- Before uninstalling a server that serves as a certificate authority (CA), key recovery authority (KRA), or DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) server, make sure these services are running on another server in the domain.
Warning
Removing the last replica that serves as a CA, KRA, or DNSSEC server can seriously disrupt the Identity Management functionality.
Procedure
To uninstall
server.example.com:
- On another server, use the
ipa server-delcommand to deleteserver.example.comfrom the topology:[root@another_server ~]
# ipa server-del server.example.com - On
server.example.com, use theipa-server-install --uninstallcommand:[root@server ~]
# ipa-server-install --uninstall - Make sure all name server (NS) DNS records pointing to
server.example.comare deleted from your DNS zones. This applies regardless of whether you use integrated DNS managed by IdM or external DNS.
