How use repctl to delete endpoints

emanuelesausto — Tue, 01 Apr 2025 12:22:00 GMT

Hi All,

we want to delete an endpoint using repctl, do you know if there's a command we can use?

I know that there's the api callend "DeleteEndpoint" for EM (https://help.qlik.com/en-US/enterprise-manager/November2023/Content/EnterpriseManager/EnterpriseManager_APIGuide/CurlAPI/api_DeleteEndpoint.htm) but we can't use it because we use SAML authentication and there's no way to use it.

Thanks,
Emanuele.

@emanuelesausto

1.repctl do not have such command to deleteendpoint.

2.for QEM with SAML you would need to setup OpenID to use the API call.

Hi Steve,

thanks for your answer.

About the command: I found "deleteendpointresource" and "delete_endpoint_server", What do these two commands do? Do you know I can use them? I think that should be a thing like:

repctl -d [DATA_PATH] delete_endpoint_server [ENDPOINT_SERVER]

but I received this error:

[delete_endpoint_server command] Failed

For the OpenID: do you know the steps to configure it with Microsoft?
I found "Setting up Personal Access Token authentication for the API" (https://help.qlik.com/en-US/enterprise-manager/November2023/Content/EnterpriseManager/Main/Installation/Logging_into_AEM.htm#aem_install_3711146616_1831471) but the doc mention "Okta", Is it an Azure service or is it an application that needs to be configured separately?
I'm asking this because I've opened a ticket to Support weeks ago but I didn't receive answers about it.

Thanks,

Emanuele.

@emanuelesausto any repctl command that is not listed in the Replicate user guide is not supported.

so if you found something you can try and play around with it but support will not support repctl that is not listed in the Replicate user guide .

All API call should be from QEM .

for QEM Azure you would still need Open ID,

Example: Using Microsoft Azure as the SAML IdP ,,, section

and section :

Step 1: In Okta or Azure Active Directory, create an app integration that uses OpenID Connect

Hi Steve,

I did it on my own, if there's someone else that wants to use this feature the command is the following:

./repctl -d [DATA_FOLDER] deletedatabase [SOURCE/TARGET ENDPOINT NAME]

For the API I'll ask to Microsoft Admin Support to do it.

Emanuele.
