Description
Specifies that the utility must run in continuous operation mode. Errors are
reported, but the utility continues with deletions. The default is to quit after
reporting an error.
Specifies the file containing the distinguished names of entries to be deleted.
For example, -f modify_statements. Omit this option if you want to
supply the distinguished name of the entry to be deleted directly to the
command-line.
Lists all available ldapdelete options.
Manage smart referrals. Causes the server not to return the smart referral
contained on the entry but, instead, to delete the actual entry containing the
smart referral. For more information about smart referrals, see chapter 3,
"Configuring Directory Databases," in the Red Hat Directory Server
Administrator's Guide.
Specifies that the entries are not actually to be deleted, but that ldapdelete is
to show what it would do with the specified input.
Specifies the maximum number of referral hops to follow. For example, -O 2.
There is no maximum number of referral hops.
Specifies that referrals are not to be followed automatically. By default, the
server follows referrals.
Specifies that the utility is to run in verbose mode.
Specifies the LDAP version number to be used on the operation. For example,
-V 2. LDAPv3 is the default. You cannot perform an LDAPv3 operation
against a Directory Server that only supports LDAPv2.
Specifies the proxy DN to use for the delete operation. This argument is
provided for testing purposes. For more information about proxied
authorization, see chapter 6, "Managing Access Control," in the Red Hat
Directory Server Administrator's Guide.
