3.4. Deleting Views from the Command Line
To delete a view from the command line, do the following:
1. Use the ldapdelete utility to bind to the server and prepare it to remove the view entry to the
configuration file.
ldapdelete -D "cn=directory manager" -w secret -h host -p 389 "ou=Example
View,dc=example,dc=com"
2. Remove the view entry. It is not necessary to remove any entries included in the view.
dn: ou=Example View,dc=example,dc=com
objectClass: top
objectClass: organizationalunit
objectClass: nsview
ou=Example View
nsViewFilter: l=Mountain View

4. Using Groups
Groups are a mechanism for associating entries for ease of administration. This mechanism
was provided with previous versions of Directory Server and should be used primarily for
compatibility with older versions of the server.
4.1. Managing Static Groups
Static groups organize entries by specifying the same group value in the DN attribute of any
number of users. This section includes the following procedures for creating and modifying
static groups:
• Section 4.1.1, “Adding a New Static Group”
• Section 4.1.2, “Modifying a Static Group”
