Remove an OU from OpenLDAP command line
Remove an OU from OpenLDAP command line
In this example we have added the OU SkyNet, however since then, SkyNet has become self-aware and we need to remove it from the LDAP database before the real problems start. Let’s login, and su to root
from here change to the temp directory to manipulate the LDAP database
dump the LDAP database to file
vi the dump
locate SkyNet
from here do a ctrl+c and then a :set nu
this should show us the line numbers
from here we want to write line 127 to a file named “SkyNet-Terminated”
vi the File
here’s the syntax to delete the OU
run this command to process the change
deleted!
however, Given that it’s SkyNet, we had better make sure that it’s Actually gone from the database. Do another Dump
from here vi the dump
from here we can search for SkyNet
cool, SkyNet has been exterminated!
That’s it!
