delete: objectclass=portalUser  ### ?? don't know how
-
delete: portalUser

When you modify an entry the resulting object must conform to
schema (as modified by the request).  If you add a value to the
objectClass attribute, you must also (within the same modify
operation) add attributes required by this new objectClass).
If you delete a value from the objectClass attribute, you
must also (within the same modify operation) remove all
attributes which are only allowed by the deleted objectclass.

If you rename foo to bar, you should be able to (as a single
modify operation) to delete "foo" and add "bar".
