1. Ensure you are logged on to your system with appropriate privileges to uninstall an application.
  2. Stop and disable the PingFederate service.
    PingFederate systemd service
    Use the following systemctl commands to stop and disable the PingFederate systemd service: 
    systemctl stop pingfederate ;\
systemctl disable pingfederate ;\
systemctl daemon-reload
    You can also remove the PingFederate systemd unit file (pingfederate.service) from the systemd unit files directory (/etc/systemd/system) prior to running the systemctl daemon-reload command.
    PingFederate SysV initialization script
    On a Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) server, you can use the Service Configuration utility to stop and disable the PingFederate service.
    Alternatively, you can stop the service using the service command (service pingfederate stop) and disable the service by removing any symbolic links from various initialization directories.
    You can also remove the PingFederate SysV initialization script (pingfederate) from the SysV initialization directory (/etc/rc.d/init.d).

    The exact directory locations may vary, depending on the operating system. Consult your system administrators, as needed.

  3. Optional: Remove the PingFederate installation directory (<pf_install>).
