FW: Can I delete a subtree?

Hi all,

  I have a doubt about controls and extended operation in OpenLDAP.
Does exist a control to force the removal of an entry AND its subtree ?

I'm using JNDI to access and operate my LDAP server, so I'm forwarding a
brief mail exchange about the question.


Thanks a lot for the help

bye
