Deleting an ID vault
You can delete an ID vault. Before doing that you must delete all replicas except the one on the vault primary server. To delete a vault, you must be a vault administrator, have access to the vault ID file and password, and have Editor access to the Domino Directory.

Perform the following steps:

1. Open the Domino Administrator and click the Configuration tab.

2. Click the Security - ID Vaults view and select the vault document of the vault you are deleting. To see the current list of servers with replicas of the vault (vault servers), open the vault document.


3. Click ID Vaults - Delete to delete the vault.

The tool deletes the vault database from the IBM_ID_VAULT subdirectory on the vault primary server. If the vault database is open or is being accessed by a process, it cannot be deleted immediately and is instead marked for deletion. Once a day the server attempts to delete the vault database. Running the show idvaults command at the server console also attempts the deletion.

The tool also performs the following tasks:


These Domino Directory changes are made on the Domino Directory administration server and replicate to other servers.
