Delete 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. However, 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. Expand Network > Enterprise Identity Mapping > Domain Management.
  2. Select the EIM domain in which you want to work.
  3. Expand the EIM domain to which you are connected.
  4. Click User Registries to display a list of registry definitions for 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.
