.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
.I ldapdelete
|
|
|
|
|
is a shell-accessible interface to the
|
|
|
|
|
.BR ldap_delete (3)
|
|
|
|
|
library call.
|
|
|
|
|
.LP
|
|
|
|
|
.B ldapdelete
|
|
|
|
|
opens a connection to an LDAP server, binds, and deletes one or more
|
|
|
|
|
entries. If one or more \fIdn\fP arguments are provided, entries with
|
|
|
|
|
those Distinguished Names are deleted. Each \fIdn\fP should be a
|
|
|
|
|
string-represented DN as defined in RFC 1779. If no \fIdn\fP arguments
|
|
|
|
|
are provided, a list of DNs is read from standard input (or from
|
|
|
|
|
\fIfile\fP if the -f flag is used).
|
|
|
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
.B \-n
|
|
|
|
|
Show what would be done, but don't actually delete entries. Useful for
|
|
|
|
|
debugging in conjunction with -v.
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
.B \-v
|
|
|
|
|
Use verbose mode, with many diagnostics written to standard output.
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
.B \-k
|
|
|
|
|
Use Kerberos authentication instead of simple authentication. It is
|
|
|
|
|
assumed that you already have a valid ticket granting ticket. This option
|
|
|
|
|
only has effect if
|
|
|
|
|
. B ldapdelete
|
|
|
|
|
is compiled with KERBEROS defined.
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
.B \-K
|
|
|
|
|
Same as \-k, but only does step 1 of the kerberos bind. This is useful
|
|
|
|
|
when connecting to a slapd and there is no x500dsa.hostname principal
|
|
|
|
|
registered with your kerberos servers.
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
.B \-c
|
|
|
|
|
Continuous operation mode. Errors are reported, but
|
|
|
|
|
.B ldapdelete
|
|
|
|
|
will continue with deletions. The default is to exit after
|
|
|
|
|
reporting an error.
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
.B \-d debuglevel
|
|
|
|
|
Set the LDAP debugging level to \fIdebuglevel\fP.
|
|
|
|
|
.B ldapdelete
|
|
|
|
|
must be compiled with LDAP_DEBUG defined for this option to have any effect.
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
.B \-f file
|
|
|
|
|
Read a series of lines from \fIfile\fP, performing one LDAP search for
|
|
|
|
|
each line. In this case, the \fIfilter\fP given on the command line
|
|
|
|
|
is treated as a pattern where the first occurrence of \fB%s\fP is
|
|
|
|
|
replaced with a line from \fIfile\fP.
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
.B \-D binddn
|
|
|
|
|
Use \fIbinddn\fP to bind to the X.500 directory. \fIbinddn\fP should be
|
|
|
|
|
a string-represented DN as defined in RFC 1779.
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
.B \-w passwd
|
|
|
|
|
Use \fIpasswd\fP as the password for simple authentication.
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
.B \-h ldaphost
|
|
|
|
|
Specify an alternate host on which the ldap server is running.
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
.B \-p ldapport
|
|
|
|
|
Specify an alternate TCP port where the ldap server is listening.
|
|
|
|
|
.SH EXAMPLE
|
|
|
|
|
The following command:
|
|
|
|
|
.LP
|
|
|
|
|
.nf
|
|
|
|
|
ldapdelete "cn=Delete Me, o=University of Michigan, c=US"
|
|
|
|
|
.fi
|
|
|
|
|
.LP
|
|
|
|
|
will attempt to delete the entry named with commonName "Delete Me"
|
|
|
|
|
directly below the University of Michigan organizational entry. Of
|
|
|
|
|
course it would probably be necessary to supply a \fIbinddn\fP and
|
|
|
|
|
\fIpasswd\fP for deletion to be allowed (see the -D and -w options).
|
|
|
|
|
.SH DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
|
|
|
Exit status is 0 if no errors occur. Errors result in a non-zero exit
|
|
|
|
|
status and a diagnostic message being written to standard error.
