5.2 Uninstalling Secure API Manager

You can uninstall Secure API Manager without uninstalling Access Manager. However, it is important that you remove the Secure API Manager objects from the Access Manager Administration Console when you uninstall Secure API Manager. Not removing the Secure API Manager objects causes issues when you reinstall because of the tight integration with Access Manager.

To uninstall Secure API Manager:

  1. Log in to the Administration Console as an administrator.

  2. Delete the API Gateway cluster.

    1. On the Dashboard, click the API Gateway cluster you want to delete.

    2. In the upper right corner of the API Gateway cluster, click Actions.

    3. Click Delete, then click OK to confirm that you want to delete the API Gateway cluster, the API Gateway, the limiting policies, and the APIs stored on this API Gateway cluster.

    4. (Conditional) Repeat Step 2.a through Step 2.c for each API Gateway you have.

  3. (Conditional) If you used the appliance, power off and delete each Secure API Manager appliance from VMware. For more information, see Delete a Virtual Machine.

  4. (Conditional) If you used the Docker deployment, run the uninstall script on each node in the cluster for the Docker deployment using the following command:

    ./sapim-node-uninstall.sh

    NOTE:The uninstall script is located in the sapim-install-2.1.x.tar.gz file.

  5. (Conditional) If you clustered Secure API Manager, remove the configuration information for the Secure API Manager deployments from the L4 switch.
