newbie still: ldapdelete: why won't it.
Hi All,
Trying to delete an entry, so here is the results of search
jdw@thoth:~$ ldapsearch -x -b 'dc=shadshed,dc=com' '(objectclass=*)'
# extended LDIF
#
# LDAPv3
# base <dc=shadshed,dc=com> with scope sub
# filter: (objectclass=*)
# requesting: ALL
#

Want to delete the # jdw, People, shadshed.com entry.
Tried:
ldapdelete -x -w Fl0Cabs -D cn=admin,dc=shadshed,dc=com "dn:
uid=jdw,ou=People,dc=shadshed,dc=com"
but got
Delete Result: Invalid DN syntax (34)
Additional info: invalid DN
I thought that the dn (Distinguished name) would be:
dn: uid=jdw,ou=People,dc=shadshed,dc=com
So I pasted that onto the end of ldapdelete line.
The command (ldapdelete ) and don't use SASL (-x) and this is the
password (-w Fl0Cabs) for the admin user who we are going to bind with
(-D cn=admin,dc=shadshed,dc=com) and delete this dn entry:
uid=jdw,ou=People,dc=shadshed,dc=com"
Have I complete mis-understood?
