Re: Deleting non-leaf entries from LDAP.

[Sridhar Bandi <bandis@india.hp.com>]

Hi all ,

  Thank you all for the responses.

  I would like to do this in my program so using ldapdelete is not possible.

  So I am left with the only option of deleting all the leaf entries
recursively.
  That looks like a very slow process to delete entries one by one :-( ...

Thanks and Regards
Bandi
