Deleting a registry definition

When you delete a registry definition from an Enterprise Identity Mapping (EIM) domain you do not affect the user registry to which the registry definition refers, but that user registry can no longer participate in the EIM domain.

You need to consider these things when you delete a registry definition:
  • When you delete a registry definition, you lose all associations for that user registry. If you redefine the registry to the domain, you must create any needed associations again.
  • When you delete an X.509 registry definition, you also lose all certificate filters defined for that registry. If you redefine the X.509 registry to the domain, you must create any needed certificate filters again.
  • You can not delete a system registry definition if there are application registry definitions that specify the system registry definition as a parent registry.

To delete a registry definition, you must be connected to the EIM domain in which you want to work and you must have EIM administrator access control.

To delete an EIM registry definition, complete these steps:

  1. From IBM® Navigator for i, expand Security > Enterprise Identity Mapping (EIM).
  2. Click Domain Management.
    • If you are not currently connected to the EIM domain controller, a Connect to EIM Domain Controller dialog box is displayed. Enter the connection information to use for the connection to the EIM domain controller. Click OK
  3. Right-click the EIM domain in which you want to work and select Open.
  4. Right-click User Registries, select Open to display the list of registry definitions within the domain.
    Note: If you have Administrator for selected registries access control, the list contains only those registry definitions to which you are specifically authorized.
  5. Right-click the user registry that you want to delete and select Delete.
  6. Click Yes on the Confirmation dialog to delete the registry definition.
