ProcedureTo Finish Access Manager Uninstallation

    cd /opt/SUNWappserver/appserver/bin./asadmin start-domain --user admin_user --passwordfile path_to_admin-password_file domainname

  2. In a browser, go to the Application Server administration console. The default URL is https://hostname:4849 .

    • Linux: /var/opt/sun/messaging

  4. Undo any sendmail configuration for Messaging Server.

  5. On Solaris OS, remove the MessagingServer-base/lib directory from the crle settings. This directory was added to specify that MessagingServer-base/libis a trusted directory for setuid programs. Refer to the crle man page for details.
