Your system may contain any or all of the following Identity Synchronization for Windows components:
Active Directory Connectors
Directory Server Connectors and Plug-ins
Core
Your Windows NT system may contain the Windows NT Connector and subcomponents.
Use runUninstaller.sh (Solaris), uninstaller.sh (Linux), or uninstall.cmd (Windows) to remove all connectors and subcomponents and then remove Core (if installed).
This section provides instructions for the following:
Start the uninstaller program (runUninstaller.sh on Solaris, uninstaller.sh on Linux, or uninstall.cmd on Windows).
These programs are located in the installation directory (which is the /opt/SUNWisw directory by default).
At the Welcome screen click Next.
Enter the Configuration Directory Host name and Port number.
Select the root suffix of the configuration directory. (If necessary, click Refresh to see the list of suffixes.)
For secure communication between the uninstall program and the configuration directory server, enable the Secure Port box and specify the Directory Server’s SSL port number.
Enter your administrator’s name and password for the configuration directory.
Select the connector(s) to be uninstalled.
The selected connectors must be present on the target host.
Click Next to perform further uninstallation related tasks.
A summary window appears. Please follow the instructions presented in this window.
On Solaris systems: Uninstallation logs are written to /var/sadm/install/logs/
On Linux systems: Uninstallation logs are written to /var/sadm/install/logs/
On Windows systems: Uninstallation logs are written to the %TEMP% directory, which is a subdirectory of the Local Settings folder located in
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator
On some Windows systems such as Windows 2000 Advanced Server, the Local Settings folder is a hidden folder. To view this folder and the Temp subdirectory:
Open your Windows Explorer and select Tools -> Folder Options from the menu bar. When the Folder Options dialog box is displayed, select the View tab and enable the Show Hidden Files option.
Click Close to exit the program.
If there are no other connectors installed on the target host, then you can safely remove the isw-hostname folder.
Repeat Uninstalling Connectors for all hosts where connectors are installed.
You must uninstall the Directory Server Plug-in before you uninstall Core.
Uninstalling Core before the Plug-in removes the Plug-in bits without unregistering them from the Directory Server, which will prevent the Directory Server from starting unless you manually remove cn=pswsync,cn=plugins,cn=config.
Use the following instructions to uninstall Core:
Start the uninstaller program:
In the Welcome screen click Next.
Enter the Configuration Directory Host name and Port number.
Enter your administrator’s name and password for the configuration directory.
Select Core to be uninstalled and click Next.
Enter the configuration directory URL, click Refresh, and select the appropriate root suffix from the drop-down list.
Click Next to perform further uninstallation related tasks.
A summary window appears. Please follow the instructions presented in this window.

If you are unable to run the connector uninstaller for a given connector for any reason (for example, if you lost the connector files during a hard drive failure), use the idsync resetconn subcommand (see Using resetconn).
This command resets the connector state in the configuration directory to uninstalled so that you can reinstall it elsewhere. The resetconn subcommand is similar to other commands that access the configuration directory, and it provides two options:
-e dir-source: Specifies the name of the directory source to be reset. (Connectors are identified in the installers by their directory source name.)
-n (safe mode): Indicates whether the arguments specified for the command are correct without doing any work.
Example command:
idsync resetconn -D “cn=Directory Manager”-w [-h CR-hostname] [-p 389] [-s dc=example,dc=sun,dc=com] -q [-Z] [-P “cert8.db“] [-m “secmod.db“] -e “dc=central, dc=example,dc=com“ [-n] |
resetconn Output:
NOTICE: This program will reset the installation state to UNINSTALLED for the Connector associated with the specified DirectorySource ’dc=central,dc=example,dc=com’. Changing the Connector to an UNINSTALLED state is a last resort. This is NOT meant to be used for uninstalling connectors.It is typically used if you lost a machine with the connector on it and can not run the uninstaller. Additionally, this program will rewrite the existing configuration. This can be a lengthy process. Before proceeding, you should stop the Console, any running installers, and all other system processes. You may want to export the ou=Services tree in the configuration directory to ldif as a backup. Do you want to reset the installer settings for the connector (y/n)? |
