If you changed your realm and no longer require the base
entry for that realm, you can delete it.
Before you begin
In a stand-alone server environment, you can complete the
following task when the servers are either stopped or started. In
a clustered environment, start the deployment manager and node agent.
Then, verify that they are able to synchronize.About this task
Important: If you delete a base entry from the
default realm, then users who belong to that base entry can no longer
log in to IBM® WebSphere® Portal. Therefore,
the default realm must contain all the base entries for all active
realms.
