fix

NOTE*******: THESE DIRECTIONS ARE NOT APPLICABLE FOR NDS EDIRECTORY 8.5. SEE SOLUTION NOVL30408 for more information about removing eDirectory 8.5 off Solaris.********

The following steps will completely remove EDirectory or Corporate Edition on Solaris -- this information is taken from the Corporate Edition admin guide, available on the product CDROM. Some steps may not be necessary, depending on which components have been installed.

1. Login to the server with superuser access

2. Stop the NDS daemons with the following commands:
/etc/init.d/ndsd stop (stops the NDS server daemon)
/etc/init.d/slpuasa stop (stops the SLP daemon)
/etc/init.d/nds_uamcd stop (stops the UAM daemon)
/etc/init.d/nds_ssod stop (stops the Single Sign-on daemon)

3. Remove the installed packages as follows:
pkgrm NDSserv (removes the NDS server package)
pkgrm NDSuam (removes the UAM package)
pkgrm NDSnici
pkgrm NDSbase
pkgrm NDSslp

4. Delete the NDS files from the server:
rm -f /etc/nds.conf
rm -f /etc/ndscfg.inp
rm -f /etc/init.d/nds*
rm -f /etc/init.d/slpuasa
rm -f /usr/sbin/nds-uninstall
rm -f /etc/init.d/nldap
rm -f /usr/bin/nds*
rm -f /usr/sbin/nds*

5. Delete the NDS directories:
rm -rf /var/nds
rm -rf /var/ndsuam
rm -rf /var/n4u
rm -rf /usr/lib/nds

6. Delete the NDS server object from the tree in NDSManager

These steps will completely remove both the NDS Server and UAM portions of NDS Corporate Edition from the server. If user accounts were not reverse migrated, and if they were deleted off the Solaris FILES or NIS system during the original migration, all users will need to be created again. Otherwise, the system will now be setup as it was prior to the installation of NDS.
