Deleting User Directory Configurations
You can delete a user directory configuration at any time. Deleting a directory configuration
invalidates all the provisioning information for the users and groups derived from the user
directory. It also removes the directory from the search order.
Tip:
If you do not want to use a configured user directory that was used for provisioning, remove it
from the search order so that the user directory is not searched for users and groups. This action
maintains the integrity of provisioning information. It also enables you to use the user directory
at a later time, if needed.
➤ To delete a user directory configuration:
1 Launch the User Management Console, as explained in “Launching User Management Console” on page
33.
2 Select Administration > Configure User Directories.
3 From Defined User Directories screen, select the directory to delete.
4 Click Delete.
Managing User Directory Search Order
The search order associated with a configured user directory determines the position of the
directory in the search order that Shared Services uses to retrieve user and group information.
Shared Services ignores user directories that are not included in the search order. Consequently,
these user directories are not used to support authentication and provisioning.
