Red Hat Directory Server 8.0 Configuration, Command, and File Reference

Option Description
default is 636.
-w Specifies the password associated with the
distinguished name specified in the -D option.
For example:
-w mypassword
The default is "", or anonymous. If a
password is not sent on the command line
and the server requires one, the command
prompts for one. It is more secure not to
provide a password on the command line so
that it does not show up in clear text in a
listing of commands.
Table 6.14. Commonly-Used ldapdelete Options
SSL Options.
Use the following options to specify that ldapdelete use LDAPS when communicating with the
Directory Server or to use certificate-based authentication. These options are valid only when
LDAPS has been turned on and configured for the Directory Server. For more information on
certificate-based authentication and how to create a certificate database for use with LDAP
clients, see the "Managing SSL" and "Managing SASL" chapters in the Directory Server
Administrator's Guide.
Ensure that the Directory Server's encrypted port is set when using these options.
Option Description
-3 Specifies that hostnames should be checked
in SSL certificates.
-I Specifies the SSL key password file that
contains the token:password pair.
-K Specifies the path, including the filename, of
the private key database of the client. Either
the absolute or relative (to the server root)
path can be used. The -K option must be
used when the key database has a different
name than key3.db or when the key
database is not under the same directory as
the certificate database, the cert8.db file (the
path for which is specified with the -P option).
-N Specifies the certificate name to use for
ldapdelete
