swi9q (swi9q) asked a question.
I have sftd daemon installed (scaleft-server-tools-{version})
But when I terminate a server, is there any way how to unenroll or de-register the server?

Hi Marco,
You can unenroll a client form the Advanced Server Access dashboard by using the following command:
sft unenroll
Removes the currently active client from your client inventory in the Advanced Server Access platform.
For more details please check the next article: https://help.okta.com/en/prod/Content/Topics/Adv_Server_Access/docs/client.htm
Thank You,

This is on a server that only has the sftd installed. (so NO sft application)
How can I unenroll this?

Hi @alexandru.moraru1.5000675512268237E12 (Okta, Inc.)
We have the same question that Marco has regarding unenrolling a server. Is your recommendation to install the sft client on our servers? Is there a way to do this via the agent instead?
Thank you for your time!

I came here looking for the same answer.
We are using script to install and enroll server into ASA. But we are now looking for a way to achieve the reverse thing and automatically unenroll / deregister server from the ASA Project.
I know you can do it manually from the ASA UI. And that is fine if you have manual proces and one or two servers to deregiser.
If you are using deployment pipeline to spinn up the whole environment and register all the servers into the ASA project,
then naturally you need to have a way to deregister those servers when/if they are not needed anymore.
Or even if there would be just an API to make a call.
In the age of devops automation the lack of this feature make managing okta servers very cumbersome.
Aparently there is an API for it. Someone from support has just sent us this:
While there is no out-of-the-box way to automate the process of deleting a server, you can use the below API to delete a server:
{{url}}/v1/teams/{{teamName}}/projects/{{projectName}}/servers/{{server_id}
That is great news. I am searching at https://developer.okta.com/docs/reference/
But do you know where the /teams/ api methods are documented?
The DELETE docs for a server are at: https://developer.okta.com/docs/reference/api/asa/projects/#remove-a-server-from-a-project
You'll need to have a service user created, and an API key, and mint a Bearer token using: https://developer.okta.com/docs/reference/api/asa/service-users/#issue-a-service-user-token
For further details on the auth, see: https://help.okta.com/en/prod/Content/Topics/Adv_Server_Access/docs/service-users.htm?cshid=ext_asa_service_users
Note that a server will remain in the list until removed explicitly, however a server will not be considered a contender for lookup 96 hours after its last contact: https://help.okta.com/en/prod/Content/Topics/Adv_Server_Access/docs/server-name-resolution.htm
You can get the UUID, which you need to unregister, from the server itself with:
$ sftd --debug-device-token | grep 'Server ID: server' | cut -f3 -d:
ab766d33-7877-4f21-cda1-b2a69550b0b6
