in a specified file. Because ldapmodify uses LDIF update statements, ldapmodify can do everything ldapdelete can do.

Xldapdelete – 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:

XBy specifying options on the LDAP command line.

XBy placing instructions and data into an LDAP Data Interchange Format (LDIF) file, which you then invoke on the command line by using the -foption.

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.
