I'm using Fedora DS 1.0.4. I've written an application that uses Fedora DS and next I'm planning to write unit tests. I'm wondering if there is a way to delete the whole userRoot database and create it again? I searched the documentation and there seems to be a way to create the database from command line, but no way to delete it, except from the GUI?
Just delete the entry (e.g. delete cn=userRoot,cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=config). You will have to do some sort of recursive deletion to remove all of the child entries. I think this is what the GUI does - just check the access logs for the server after deleting the database in the console.

Thank you Richard, that worked very well. I also delete the mapping tree entry, which maps the suffix to the backend database:

  dn: cn="dc=ebi,dc=ac,dc=uk",cn=mapping tree,cn=config
  objectclass: top
  objectclass: extensibleObject
  objectclass: nsMappingTree
  nsslapd-state: backend
  nsslapd-backend: userRoot
  cn: dc=ebi,dc=ac,dc=uk

The GUI works slightly differently, it sets nsslapd-state to "disabled" and removes the nsslapd-backend attribute.

If anyone has a need for a script that can delete and create a database, I can send it to the list. I use Python with python-ldap package.

Thank you very much for a fast response!

Ville
