server task virtualhost delete

The server task virtualhost delete command deletes a virtual host junction.

Requires authentication (administrator ID and password) to use this command.

Syntax

server task instance_name-webseald-host_name virtualhost delete vhost_label

Description

The server list virtualhost delete command deletes a virtual host junction. A virtual host junction cannot be deleted if a second virtual host junction refers to it through the –g option. An error message is returned at such an attempt.

Options

instance_name-webseald-host_name

Specifies the full server name of the installed WebSEAL instance. You must specify this full server name in the exact format as displayed in the output of the server list command.

The instance_name specifies the configured name of the WebSEAL instance. The webseald designation indicates that the WebSEAL service performs the command task. The host_name is the name of the physical machine where the WebSEAL server is installed.

For example, if the configured name of a single WebSEAL instance is default, and host machine name where the WebSEAL server is installed is abc.ibm.com, the full WebSEAL server name is default-webseald-abc.ibm.com.

If an additional WebSEAL instance is configured and named web2, the full WebSEAL server name is web2-webseald-abc.ibm.com.

vhost_label

Specifies the label name of the virtual host junction.

Authorization

Users and groups that require access to this command must be given the c (control) permission in the ACL that governs the /WebSEAL/host_name-instance_name/@vhost_label object. For example, the sec_master administrative user has permission by default.

Note: This command is available only when WebSEAL is installed.

Return codes

0: The command completed successfully. For WebSEAL server task commands, the return code becomes 0 when the command is sent to the WebSEAL server without errors.
Note: Even if the command was successfully sent, the WebSEAL server might not be able to successfully complete the command and can return an error message.
1: The command failed. See "Error messages" in the IBM Knowledge Center which provides a list of the Verify Identity Access error messages by decimal or hexadecimal codes.
