Deconfig Tool

D-2

Oracle Application Server Installation Guide

If you run it without all of the parameters, the tool prompts you for the necessary
information.

D.1.1 Parameters

-u oid_user

Specify the Oracle Internet Directory user.

You can specify the Oracle Internet Directory user using the user’s simple name or the
user’s distinguished name (DN). For example, the user’s simple name can be
[email protected]

, which corresponds to the DN

cn=jdoe,l=us,dc=mycompany,dc=com

.

The Oracle Internet Directory user needs to have privileges for deinstalling the
components that are configured in the Oracle Application Server instance that you
want to deinstall. These privileges are the same as for installing and configuring the
component.

For example, if you are deinstalling an OracleAS Infrastructure instance that is
running Oracle Delegated Administration Services and OracleAS Single Sign-On,
make sure the user has privileges to configure these components. For a list of
components and groups that grant the privileges, see

Section 5.3, "Groups Required to

Configure or Deinstall Components"

.

If you want to run the tool as the Oracle Internet Directory superuser, be sure to use
cn=orcladmin

, and not just orcladmin. These are two different users. If you want

more details about these users, see

Section 5.1, "Default Users in Oracle Internet

Directory"

.

-w password

Specify the password for the Oracle Internet Directory user.

-r realm

Specify the realm in which to authenticate the user. This value is required only if your
Oracle Internet Directory has more than one realm.

-dbp sys_db_password

Specify the password for the SYS user in the database. This is the OracleAS Metadata
Repository database used by Oracle Internet Directory.

This value is required only if you are deinstalling an Oracle Identity Management-only
instance that has Oracle Internet Directory configured.

If you specify this parameter and it is not needed, the password value is simply not
used.

-help or -h

You can also run the Deconfig tool with the -h or -help parameter to display help:

prompt> $ORACLE_HOME/perl/bin/perl deconfig.pl -h

- or -

prompt> $ORACLE_HOME/perl/bin/perl deconfig.pl -help

Note:

For security reasons, it is not recommended that you specify

the password on the command line. The Deconfig tool will prompt
you for the password if you do not specify it on the command line.
