A customer has setup ID vault and now has forgotten the password and missplaced the ID file for the vault.
How do I remove the ID vault from the domain without the Vault ID file and/or password?
The reason for deleting the vault is that since we can not move it (without the password and ID) we want to create a new one on a new server.

To manually delete the vault when you do not know the password:
Delete the vault database in the Domino data IBM_ID_VAULT directory
Delete the vault trust certificates from the directory.
Remove or edit any vault policies.
Remove the ID vault’s entry from the directory.
Remove the vault ID file.
Also make sure any ID vaults on other servers are also removed if you have created ID vault replicas.
After the deleting, rebuild the views by bringing the server down and up.
Then on the server console command, execute the command “show idvaults” to make sure the server does not think the ID vault is still around.
You may also want to use a different vault name for the new vault, and not the exact same name as the old one.
