RE: Using ldapdelete to delete a user from a group

["Karl Kopper" <karl@unfiw.com>]

The man page doesn't have an example of modifying a particular entry based
upon a match (ie, just one member of the group based on their memberUid).
How do you do that?

My best, wild guess looks like this:

----
dn: cn=sales,ou=Group,dc=unfiw,dc=com
changetype: modify
replace: memberUID: johnd
memberUid:
----

But that doesn't work when I pass it to ldapmodify with the "-f" argument.

Thanks for your help.
