Automatically formats LDIF files for you, and creates base 64 encoded attribute
values. With Base 64 Encoding you can represent Binary data, such as a JPEG
image, in LDIF by using base 64 encoding. You identify base 64 encoded data by
using the :: symbol. For example:
jpegPhoto:: <encoded data>
In addition to binary data, other values that must be base 64 encoded include:
• any value that begins with a semicolon (;) or a space
• any value that contains non-ASCII data, including newlines
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 to not return the smart referral
contained on the entry, but to instead delete the actual entry containing the
smart referral. For more information about smart referrals, see Chapter 3,
"Configuring Directory Databases" in the Netscape Directory Server
Administrator's Guide.
Specifies that the entries are not to be actually 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. LDAP v3 is the default. You cannot perform an LDAP v3 operation
against a Directory Server that only supports LDAP v2.
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 Netscape
Directory Server Administrator's Guide.
