Entrust recommends that you do not uninstall the Security World
Software unless you are either certain it is no longer required, or you
intend to upgrade it.
A.1. Uninstalling the Security World Software on Windows
Before uninstalling the Security World software, you should back up your %NFAST_HOME%
directory. Delete this backup after upgrading the Security World and confirming that the
configuration files and any customizations are correct.
1.
Open the Control Panel and click Programs and Features.
2.
Select the nShield Software package, click Uninstall, and follow the on-screen
instructions.
A.2. Uninstalling the Security World Software on Linux
Before uninstalling the Security World software, back up your $NFAST_HOME directory. This
preserves your key management data, hardserver.d, and any data customizations.
When upgrading the Security World, restore the backup to preserve your PKCSÊ#11 and
Soft KNETI authentication settings and any customizations. If you delete the /opt/nfast
directory without making a copy of it, you will lose these configuration settings.
When restoring a Security World from a backup, you need to maintain permissions.
1.
Assume the nFast Administrator privileges or root privileges by running the
command:
$ su -
2.
Type your password, then press Enter.
3.
To remove drivers, install fragments, and scripts and to stop services, run the
command:
/opt/nfast/sbin/install -u
4.
Delete all the files (including those in subdirectories) in /opt/nfast and /dev/nfast/ by
running the following commands:
rm -rf /opt/nfast
rm -rf /dev/nfast
