Public bug reported: ldapdelete -Wx -H ldapi:/// -r dc=test,dc=example,dc=com Enter LDAP Password: ldap_delete: Other (e.g., implementation specific) error (80) ldap_delete: Operation not allowed on non-leaf (66) additional info: subordinate objects must be deleted first
The top level of the database is dc=example,dc=com. There are a couple of hundred subordinate entries under dc=test,dc=example,dc=com. According to the ldapdelete man page: -r Do a recursive delete. If the DN specified isn't a leaf, its children, and all their children are deleted down the tree. No verification is done, so if you add this switch, ldapdelete will happily delete large portions of your tree. Use with care. I would expect that this would delete the entire branch of the LDAP tree from dc=test,dc=example,dc=com on down.
