[Users] Deleting Storage Connection

[Elad Ben Aharon]

As Itamar said, there is a nicer way to do it.


In order to delete a connection, you can do it also via REST-API.
You'll need a plugin for your browser (I'm using Rest client for Firefox).

Go to storageconnection under api using 'GET':

https://hostname:443/api/storageconnections

Under that, you'll see your old ISO domain connection (by UUID), use DELETE, in order to remove it.

Just remember, you'll be able to remove a connection only if it's not used by any domain.

Hope it helped.

if this is 3.3, why hack the db and not use the edit connection option?
(I think you need 3.3.1 for it to work)
