the form; see "Step 5. Set Up the Enrollment Interface" on page 514.

Log in to the CMS window (see "Logging In to the CMS Window" on

page 333).
Select the Configuration tab.

The right pane shows the Authentication Instance tab, which lists currently
configured authentication instances.
In the Instance Name list, select the instance you want to delete and click
4.
