4.2 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. Power off and delete each Secure API Manager appliance from VMware. For more information, see Delete a Virtual Machine.

  4. (Conditional) Remove the configuration information for the Secure API Manager appliances from the L4 switch.
