An administrator is managing authentication namespaces and needs to delete a namespace.

To recreate a namespace that was previously deleted in IBM Cognos Configuration, a unique ID must be used.

After a namespace has been deleted in IBM Cognos Configuration, it no longer appears in the directory tool.

An inactive namespace in the directory tool is one that was configured, but later deleted in IBM Cognos Configuration.

If a namespace is deleted in IBM Cognos Configuration and is no longer required, any authenticated member of the namespace can delete in permanently in the directory tool.
