ldapdelete

263

Option Description

-D "uid=bjensen, dc=example,dc=com"

For more information on access control, see

the "Managing Access Control" chapter in the

Directory Server Administrator's Guide. The -D

option cannot be used with the -N option.

dn Specifies the dn of the entry to delete.

-g Specifies that the password policy request

control not be sent with the bind request.

By default, the new LDAP password policy

request control is sent with bind requests.

The ldapdelete tool can parse and display

information from the response control if it is

returned by a server; that is, the tool will print

an appropriate error or warning message when

a server sends the password policy response

control with the appropriate value. The criticality

of the request control is set to false to ensure

that all LDAPv3 servers that do not understand

the control can ignore it. To suppress sending of

the request control with the bind request, include

-g on the command-line.

-h Specifies the name of the host on which the

server is running. For example:

-h cyclops

The default is localhost.

-p Specifies the port number that the server uses.

The default is 389. If -Z is used, the default is

636.

-w Specifies the password associated with the

distinguished name specified in the -D option.

For example:

-w mypassword

The default is "", or anonymous. If a password

is not sent on the command line and the server

requires one, the command prompts for one.

It is more secure not to provide a password on

the command line so that it does not show up in

clear text in a listing of commands.
