This section covers the steps to uninstall CADP for C.

• Uninstalling CADP for C on Linux

• Uninstalling CADP for C on Windows

Uninstalling CADP for C on Linux

Before you begin uninstalling CADP for C, note the folder in which CADP for C is installed. If you did not install CADP for C in the default folder of /opt, you will be required to enter the location of the folder in which the software is installed during the uninstallation process.

You have the option to uninstall CADP for C with or without admin rights. If you uninstall CADP for C using admin rights (as a root user), then as part of the uninstallation process, the backup of the VAE library, which was taken during the upgrade from VAE to CADP for C, will be reverted. In addition, the soft link that was created between the VAE library and the CADP for C library during the upgrade will be removed. If you are uninstalling CADP for C without using admin rights, then you are required to perform these steps manually after the uninstallation process is completed. Note that these additional steps do require the use of admin rights as accessing the folder /opt requires the use of admin rights. If you choose to uninstall CADP for C without the use of admin rights, then refer to Reverting Backup of VAE Library and Removing Soft Link between the Libraries after the uninstallation and perform these steps.

Note

Thales recommends that you perform the uninstallation procedure using admin rights.

To uninstall CADP for C on Linux:

1. Execute the following command from the directory in which CADP for C is installed:

   With admin rights:

   sudo ./install.sh -u

   Copy

   Without admin rights:

   ./install.sh -u

   Copy

   Where:

   • -u: Indicates to uninstall.

   For example with admin rights:

   [user@test CADP_for_C-8.14.0.00X]# sudo ./install.sh -u
   Current Installation path [/opt]:
   Uninstall succeeded!

   Copy

On successful uninstallation, the message Uninstall succeeded! is displayed.

Reverting Backup of VAE Library and Removing Soft Link between the Libraries

If you completed the uninstallation of CADP for C without the use of admin rights, perform the following steps:

1. Log on to the client machine on which CADP for C is installed as a user with admin rights.

2. Access the directory in which the libvorpkcs11.so is located:

   For example:

   cd /opt/vormetric/DataSecurityExpert/agent/pkcs11/lib/

   Copy

3. Remove the soft link from the VAE library (libvorpkcs11.so) to the CADP for C PKCS11 library (libcadp_pkcs11.so):

   rm –f /opt/vormetric/DataSecurityExpert/agent/pkcs11/lib/libvorpkcs11.so

   Copy

   where -f stands for force. The soft link will be removed immediately without any prompt of yes or no for the confirmation of the removal.

4. Revert the VAE backup library (libvorpkcs11.so.save) to its original VAE library (libvorpkcs11.so)

   mv /opt/vormetric/DataSecurityExpert/agent/pkcs11/lib/libvorpkcs11.so.save          /opt/vormetric/DataSecurityExpert/agent/pkcs11/lib/libvorpkcs11.so

   Copy
