in a specified file. Because

ldapmodify

uses LDIF update statements,

ldapmodify

can do everything

ldapdelete

can do.

X

ldapdelete

– The

ldapdelete

utility deletes entries from an existing

LDAP directory.

ldapdelete

opens a connection to the specified server

using the distinguished name and password you provide, binds, and deletes
the entry or entries.

LDAP Requests

LDAP requests are submitted in two ways:

X

By specifying options on the LDAP command line.

X

By placing instructions and data into an LDAP Data Interchange Format
(

LDIF

) file, which you then invoke on the command line by using the

-f

option.

Because communication between the LDAP client and server must occur in the
clear (unencrypted), run the LDAP utilities on the same computer as
RSA RADIUS Server.
