Example—Deleting a Policy (Command Line)

In the following example, the delete_policy command of the kadmin command is used to delete the build11 policy.

kadmin: delete_policy build11 
Are you sure you want to delete the policy "build11"? (yes/no): yes
kadmin: quit

Before you delete a policy, you must cancel the policy from all principals that are currently using it. To do so, you need to use the modify_principal -policy command of kadmin on the affected principals. The delete_policy command fails if the policy is in use by a principal.
