LDAPDELETE(1) LDAPDELETE(1)
NAME
ldapdelete - LDAP delete entry tool
SYNOPSIS
ldapdelete [-n] [-v] [-k] [-K] [-c] [-M[M]] [-d debuglevel] [-f file] [-D binddn]
[-W] [-w passwd] [-y passwdfile] [-H ldapuri] [-h ldaphost] [-P 2|3] [-p ldapport]
[-O security-properties] [-U authcid] [-R realm] [-x] [-I] [-Q] [-X authzid]
[-Y mech] [-Z[Z]] [dn]...
DESCRIPTION
ldapdelete is a shell-accessible interface to the ldap_delete(3) library call.
ldapdelete opens a connection to an LDAP server, binds, and deletes one or more
entries. If one or more DN arguments are provided, entries with those Distin-
guished Names are deleted. Each DN should be provided using the LDAPv3 string rep-
resentation as defined in RFC 2253. If no dn arguments are provided, a list of DNs
is read from standard input (or from file if the -f flag is used).
OPTIONS
-n Show what would be done, but don’t actually delete entries. Useful for
debugging in conjunction with -v.
-v Use verbose mode, with many diagnostics written to standard output.
-k Use Kerberos IV authentication instead of simple authentication. It is
assumed that you already have a valid ticket granting ticket. This option
only has effect if ldapdelete is compiled with Kerberos support.
-K Same as -k, but only does step 1 of the Kerberos IV bind. This is useful
when connecting to a slapd and there is no x500dsa.hostname principal regis-
tered with your Kerberos Domain Controller(s).
-c Continuous operation mode. Errors are reported, but ldapdelete will
continue with deletions. The default is to exit after reporting an
error.
-M[M] Enable manage DSA IT control. -MM makes control critical.
-d debuglevel
Set the LDAP debugging level to debuglevel. ldapdelete must be compiled
with LDAP_DEBUG defined for this option to have any effect.
-f file
Read a series of DNs from file, one per line, performing an LDAP delete for
each.
-x Use simple authentication instead of SASL.
-D binddn
Use the Distinguished Name binddn to bind to the LDAP directory.
-W Prompt for simple authentication. This is used instead of specifying the
password on the command line.
-w passwd
Use passwd as the password for simple authentication.
-y passwdfile
Use complete contents of passwdfile as the password for simple authentica-
tion.
-H ldapuri
Specify URI(s) referring to the ldap server(s).
-h ldaphost
Specify an alternate host on which the ldap server is running. Deprecated
in favor of -H.
-p ldapport
Specify an alternate TCP port where the ldap server is listening. Depre-
cated in favor of -H.
-P 2|3 Specify the LDAP protocol version to use.
-r Do a recursive delete. If the DN specified isn’t a leaf, its children, and
all their children are deleted down the tree. No verification is done, so
if you add this switch, ldapdelete will happily delete large portions of
your tree. Use with care.
-O security-properties
Specify SASL security properties.
-I Enable SASL Interactive mode. Always prompt. Default is to prompt only as
needed.
-Q Enable SASL Quiet mode. Never prompt.
-U authcid
Specify the authentication ID for SASL bind. The form of the identity
depends on the actual SASL mechanism used.
-R realm
Specify the realm of authentication ID for SASL bind. The form of the realm
depends on the actual SASL mechanism used.
-X authzid
Specify the requested authorization ID for SASL bind. authzid must be one
of the following formats: dn:<distinguished name> or u:<username>
-Y mech
Specify the SASL mechanism to be used for authentication. If it’s not speci-
fied, the program will choose the best mechanism the server knows.
-Z[Z] Issue StartTLS (Transport Layer Security) extended operation. If you use
-ZZ, the command will require the operation to be successful.
EXAMPLE
The following command:
ldapdelete "cn=Delete Me,dc=example,dc=com"
will attempt to delete the entry named "cn=Delete Me,dc=example,dc=com". Of course
it would probably be necessary to supply authentication credentials.
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.
