If one or more \fIDN\fP arguments are provided, entries with +those Distinguished Names are deleted. Each \fIDN\fP should be provided +using the LDAPv3 string representation as defined in RFC 4514. +If no \fIDN\fP arguments +are provided, a list of DNs is read from standard input (or from +\fIfile\fP if the \fB\-f\fP flag is used). +.SH OPTIONS +.TP +.BR \-V [ V ] +Print version info. +If \fB\-VV\fP is given, only the version information is printed. +.TP +.BI \-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 \-n +Show what would be done, but don't actually delete entries. Useful for +debugging in conjunction with \fB\-v\fP. +.TP +.B \-v +Use verbose mode, with many diagnostics written to standard output. +.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 +.BI \-f \ file +Read a series of DNs from \fIfile\fP, one per line, performing an +LDAP delete for each. +.TP +.B \-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. +.TP +.BI \-z \ sizelimit +Use \fIsizelimit\fP when searching for children DN to delete, +to circumvent any server-side size limit. Only useful in conjunction +with \fB\-r\fP. +.TP +.BR \-M [ M ] +Enable manage DSA IT control. +.B \-MM +makes control critical. +.TP +.B \-x +Use simple authentication instead of SASL. +.TP +.BI \-D \ binddn +Use the Distinguished Name \fIbinddn\fP to bind to the LDAP directory. +For SASL binds, the server is expected to ignore this value. +.TP +.B \-W +Prompt for simple authentication. +This is used instead of specifying the password on the command line. +.TP +.BI \-w \ passwd +Use \fIpasswd\fP as the password for simple authentication. +.TP +.BI \-y \ passwdfile +Use complete contents of \fIpasswdfile\fP as the password for +simple authentication. +.TP +.BI \-H \ ldapuri +Specify URI(s) referring to the ldap server(s); only the protocol/host/port +fields are allowed; a list of URI, separated by whitespace or commas +is expected. +.TP +.BI \-h \ ldaphost +Specify an alternate host on which the ldap server is running. +Deprecated in favor of \fB\-H\fP. +.TP +.BI \-p \ ldapport +Specify an alternate TCP port where the ldap server is listening. +Deprecated in favor of \fB\-H\fP. +.TP +.BR \-P \ { 2 \||\| 3 } +Specify the LDAP protocol version to use. +.TP +.BR \-e \ [ ! ] \fIext\fP [ =\fIextparam\fP ] +.TP +.BR \-E \ [ ! ] \fIext\fP [ =\fIextparam\fP ] + +Specify general extensions with \fB\-e\fP and delete extensions with \fB\-E\fP. +\'\fB!\fP\' indicates criticality. + +General extensions: +.nf + [!]assert=<filter> (an RFC 4515 Filter) + !authzid=<authzid> ("dn:<dn>" or "u:<user>") + [!]bauthzid (RFC 3829 authzid control) + [!]chaining[=<resolve>[/<cont>]] + [!]manageDSAit + [!]noop + ppolicy + [!]postread[=<attrs>] (a comma-separated attribute list) + [!]preread[=<attrs>] (a comma-separated attribute list) + [!]relax + sessiontracking + abandon,cancel,ignore (SIGINT sends abandon/cancel, + or ignores response; if critical, doesn't wait for SIGINT. + not really controls) +.fi + +Delete extensions: +.nf + (none) +.fi +.TP +.BI \-o \ opt \fR[= optparam \fR] + +Specify general options. + +General options: +.nf + nettimeout=<timeout> (in seconds, or "none" or "max") + ldif-wrap=<width> (in columns, or "no" for no wrapping) +.fi +.TP +.BI \-O \ security-properties +Specify SASL security properties. +.TP +.B \-I +Enable SASL Interactive mode. Always prompt. Default is to prompt +only as needed. +.TP +.B \-Q +Enable SASL Quiet mode. Never prompt. +.TP +.B \-N +Do not use reverse DNS to canonicalize SASL host name. +.TP +.BI \-U \ authcid +Specify the authentication ID for SASL bind. The form of the identity depends on the +actual SASL mechanism used. +.TP +.BI \-R \ realm +Specify the realm of authentication ID for SASL bind. The form of the realm +depends on the actual SASL mechanism used. +.TP +.BI \-X \ authzid +Specify the requested authorization ID for SASL bind. +.I authzid +must be one of the following formats: +.BI dn: "<distinguished name>" +or +.BI u: <username> +.TP +.BI \-Y \ mech +Specify the SASL mechanism to be used for authentication. If it's not +specified, the program will choose the best mechanism the server knows. +.TP +.BR \-Z [ Z ] +Issue StartTLS (Transport Layer Security) extended operation. If you use +\fB\-ZZ\fP, the command will require the operation to be successful. +.SH EXAMPLE +The following command: +.LP +.nf + ldapdelete "cn=Delete Me,dc=example,dc=com" +.fi +.LP +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. +.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. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR ldap.conf (5), +.BR ldapadd (1), +.BR ldapmodify (1), +.BR ldapmodrdn (1), +.BR ldapsearch (1), +.BR ldap (3), +.BR ldap_delete_ext (3) +.SH AUTHOR +The OpenLDAP Project <http://www.openldap.org/> +.SH ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS +.so ../Project |
