LDIF update statement. This provides a simplified method of adding entries to the directory.
-B Specifies the suffix under which the new entries will be added.

this value must be a DN recognized by the Directory Server, and it must also have the
authority to search for the entries.
-f This option specifies the file containing the LDIF update statements used to define the
directory modification. If you do not supply this option, the update statements are read
from stdin.
-h
Specifies the hostname or IP address of the Directory Server. If not specified, ldapmodify
uses the local host.
-p Specifies the TCP port number that the Directory Server uses. The default is 389.
-q Causes each add to be performed silently as opposed to being echoed to the screen
individually.
-w
Specifies the password associated with the distinguished name that is specified in the -D
option.
ldapdelete
You use the ldapdelete command-line utility to delete entries from an existing LDAP directory.
ldapdelete opens a connection to the specified server using the distinguished name and
password you provide, and deletes the entry or entries. For details, see the Red Hat Directory
