5.5.7 Deleting a user or a group
You can use ldapugdel to remove POSIX user and group entries from an LDAP directory
server. With the -O option, ldapugdel enables you to remove only POSIX related attributes
and object classes from a user or group entry without removing the entire entry.
The userPassword, uid, cn and description attributes are commonly used by most other
user and group schemas. With the -O option, the ldapugdel tool does not attempt to remove
these attributes. The uidNumber, gidNUmber, loginShell, homeDirectory, gecos and
memberUid are more unique to the POSIX schema, and are removed when the -O option is
specified. The ldapugdel -t passwd -O command removes the posixAccount object class
and following attributes:
• uidNumber
• gidNumber
• homeDirecotry
• loginShell
• gecos
Use the ldapugdel -t group -O command, ldapugdel removes the posixGroup object
class and following attributes:
• gidNumber
• memberUId
• userPassword
5.5.7.1 Examples

to specify a password for the LDAP user specified by LDAP_BINDDN. Alternately, you can input
LDAP administrator bind identity and credential interactively with a prompt (-P) option.

variables:
