How to remove one of the activated modules (e.g. Web, Access control or Federation) from ISAM appliance?

The only way to remove the "Activated modules" is to use REST API.

curl -k -u admin:<password> -H 'Accept: application/json' -X GET https://<appliance_hostname>/isam/capabilities/v1

Output:
[{"name":"ISAM Base Appliance","description":"IBM Security Access Manager Base Appliance","id":"wga","enabled":"True"},
{"name":"ISAM Federation","description":"IBM Security Access Manager Federation","id":"federation","enabled":"True"},
{"name":"ISAM Advanced Access Control","description":"IBM Security Access Manager Advanced Access Control","id":"mga","enabled":"True"}]

(2) Deleting an activation offering

curl -k -u admin:<password> -H 'Accept: application/json' -X DELETE https://{appliance_hostname}/isam/capabilities/{id}/v1
curl -k -u admin:<password> -H 'Accept: application/json' -X DELETE https://<appliance_hostname>/isam/capabilities/federation/v1

(3) Deploy Changes

curl -k -u admin:<password> -H 'Accept: application/json' -X PUT https://<appliance_hostname>/isam/pending_changes
