Sorry guys I just don't get any of it, tried so many ways don't know where I am or what, a post of the full line to delete the entry would be the most helpful way forward, then I can see what is going on.

This is what I put together and it does not work.

ldapdelete -x -w Fl0Cabs
-D cn=admin,dc=shadshed,dc=com
"uid=jdw,ou=People,dc=shadshed,dc=com"

(all on 1 line I just split it up for post)


# jdw, People, shadshed.com
dn: uid=jdw,ou=People,dc=shadshed,dc=com

Don't need the dn: in the target distinguished name.

Additional info: invalid DN

Need the -D cn=admin,dc=shadshed,dc=com to identify who you are authenticating as.
