Deleting users from the IBM InfoSphere Information Server user registry

Use this command to delete users from the IBM® InfoSphere® Information Server user registry. This command deletes all the users in the InfoSphere Information Server user registry. If you are using an external user registry, such as LDAP, this command deletes only the proxies of the users that were created in the internal repository and their role assignments.

The application server does not need to be running to run this command. This command should only be used for troubleshooting or recovery.

You can use this command when changing the user registry configuration after the system has been in production. This command removes all security settings for all users. You can then safely switch to a different user registry.

Attention: This command deletes all the users in the InfoSphere Information Server user registry. From the IBM InfoSphere Information Server Web console, you can delete users selectively.
Use this command only for troubleshooting.
