[problem]
You want to delete a LDAP entry.
[/problem]
[solution]
In this example, we just use ldapdelete from the command line.
Remember to take a backup. ldapsearch with -L
[/solution]
[example]
Here is an example of deleting a record in LDAP:
ldapdelete -v -D'cn=Manager..' -w ${passwd}
-h ${host} -p ${port}<<EOT
cn=….
EOT
Effectively – you just need to supply the full DN. Also be aware you need to delete the lowest branch first, for example:
uid=….
sales=…,uid=….
You need to delete sales first, then uid.
