== delete-jacc-provider

Enables administrators to delete JACC providers defined for a domain

[[sthref761]]

=== Synopsis

[source]
----
asadmin [asadmin-options] delete-jacc-provider [--help]
[--target target] jacc-provider-name
----

[[sthref762]]

=== Description

The `delete-jacc-provider` subcommand enables administrators to delete
JACC providers defined for a domain. JACC providers are defined as
`jacc-provider` elements in the `security-service` element in the
domain's `domain.xml` file. JACC providers can be created using the
{productName} Admin Console or the `create-jacc-provider`
subcommand.

The default {productName} installation includes two JACC providers,
named `default` and `simple`. These default providers should not be
deleted.

The JACC provider used by{productName} for authorization is
identified by the `jacc-provider` element of `security-service` in
`domain.xml`. Therefore, if you delete the `jacc-provider` provider,
make sure you change `jacc-provider` to the name of some other JACC
provider that exists under `security-service`.

If you change the `jacc-provider` element to point to a different JACC
provider, you must restart {productName}.

This subcommand is supported in remote mode only.
