ldapdelete

Description

Delete one or more entries from an LDAP directory server. You can provide the DNs of the entries to delete using named arguments, as trailing arguments, from a file, or from standard input. Alternatively, you can identify entries to delete using a search base DN and filter.

Examples

ldapdelete --hostname ds.example.com --port 636 --useSSL \
     --bindDN uid=admin,dc=example,dc=com \
     uid=test.user,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com

ldapdelete --hostname ds.example.com --port 636 --useSSL \
     --trustStorePath trust-store.jks --bindDN uid=admin,dc=example,dc=com \
     --bindPasswordFile admin-password.txt --dnFile dns-to-delete.txt

ldapdelete --hostname ds.example.com --port 389 --useStartTLS \
     --trustStorePath trust-store.jks --bindDN uid=admin,dc=example,dc=com \
     --bindPasswordFile admin-password.txt \
     --deleteEntriesMatchingFilter "(description=delete)"

ldapdelete --hostname ds.example.com --port 389 \
