Removing the Agent Authentication Provider

To remove the Agent Authentication Provider that was configured after the agent was installed, use the WebLogic Server/Portal 10 Administration Console.

To Remove the Agent Authentication Provider

1. Login to the WebLogic Server/Portal 10 Administration Console.

2. In the left pane, under Domain Structure and under the host name of the server you are configuring, click Security realms.

3. In the right pane, click the name of the realm you are configuring.

4. Click Providers.

5. Click the Authentication tab.

6. In the left pane, click Lock & Edit.

7. In the right pane, specify the Policy Agent Authentication Provider.

8. Click Delete.

9. Click Yes.

10. In the left pane, click Activate changes.

    The Agent Authentication Provider is not removed from the configuration until you restart the WebLogic Server/Portal 10 instance. The best practice is to restart the WebLogic Server/Portal 10 instance after you perform the following tasks.

Unconfiguring the WebLogic Server/Portal 10 Agent

To Unconfigure the WebLogic Server/Portal 10 Agent

1. Undeploy any applications protected by the WebLogic Server/Portal 10 agent.

2. Restore the deployment descriptors of these applications to their original deployment descriptors. (Backup files are useful here if you have them.)

3. If you are permanently removing the WebLogic Server/Portal 10 agent, undeploy the agent application.

   However, if you plan to re-install this agent , you don't need to undeploy the agent application.

4. If the WebLogic Server/Portal 10 instance was originally configured using Node Manager, remove the classpath and agent Java options using the WebLogic Server/Portal 10 Administration Console. For more information, see:

5. Ensure that the WebLogic Server/Portal 10 container is stopped.
