This topic describes how to remove access to a managed system manually.
You can do this by removing the public key for the management server from
the managed system.
Complete the following steps to revoke the ability of a management
server to access a managed system:
- From the managed system, change to the directory where the security
information is stored. This is one of the following directories:
Operating system |
Directory |
Linux operating systems for AMD64 and 32-bit systems |
/opt/ibm/director/data |
Linux operating systems for Intel Itanium and IBM iSeries
and pSeries |
/opt/ibm/director/data |
i5/OS |
/QIBM/UserData/Director/data |
NetWare |
d:\IBM\Director |
Windows |
d:\Program Files\IBM\Director\Data |
where d is the drive letter of the hard disk on which IBM Director
is installed and IBM Director is installed in the default location.
- Using a text editor, view each dsa*.pub file. The first characters
in a dsa*.pub file are of the form DSAxxxx, where xxxx is the
name of the management server.
- Locate the dsa*.pub file for the management server that you want
to unauthorize, and delete it.
- To stop IBM Director Agent, from a command prompt, type one of
the following commands and press Enter:
For i5/OS |
/qibm/userdata/director/bin/twgend |
For Linux |
/opt/ibm/director/twgstop |
For NetWare |
unload twgipc |
For Windows |
net stop twgipc |
- To restart IBM Director Agent, type one of the following commands
and press Enter:
For i5/OS |
/qibm/userdata/director/bin/twgstart |
For Linux |
/opt/ibm/director/twgstart |
For NetWare |
load twgipc |
For Windows |
net start twgipc |
After IBM Director Agent starts, the management server whose public
key you removed is no longer able to access the managed system.
