NAME
      ldapdelete - ldap delete entry tool
 


SYNOPSIS
      ldapdelete [ -n ]  [ -o ]  [ -v ]  [ -c ]  [ -d debuglevel ]
      [  -f file  ]  [ -D binddn ]  [ -w passwd ]  [ -h ldaphost ]
      [ -M authentication ]  [ -p ldapport ]  [ dn ... ]
 


DESCRIPTION
      The ldapdelete utility opens a connection to an LDAP server,
      then  binds  and deletes one or more entries. If one or more
      dn arguments are provided, entries with those  distinguished
      names  are  deleted. If no dn arguments are provided, a list
      of DNs is read from file, if the -f option is specified,  or
      from standard input.
 


OPTIONS
      The following options are supported:
 
      -c    Continuous operation mode. Errors  are  reported,  but
            ldapdelete  will  continue with deletions. The default
            is to exit after reporting an error.
 
      -d debuglevel
            Sets the LDAP debugging level. Useful levels of debug-
            ging for ldapmodify and  ldapadd are:
 
 
            1     Trace
 
            2     Packets
 
            4     Arguments
 
            32    Filters
 
            128   Access control
 
            To request more than one category of debugging  infor-
            mation,  add  the masks. For example, to request trace
            and filter information, specify a debuglevel of 33.
 
 
 
      -D binddn
            Uses the distinguished name  binddn  to  bind  to  the
            directory.
 
      -f file
            Reads the entry deletion information from file instead
            of from standard  input.

      -h ldaphost

            this option.
 
      -n    Shows what would be done, but does not actually delete
            entries. Useful in  conjunction with options -v and -d
            for debugging.

            integrity, privacy).

            is listening.
