Hi, Brian,

Yes, I looked at the manpage, but I still didn't get it. Maybe I'm too
stupid.

I wanna delete the DN, i.e., "cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com", I added into
the directory.
So, according to the example in the manpage, I should just do

ldapdelete "cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com"

"-x -w secret" is just for simple authentication. So, you mean I should do
sth like

ldapdelete -D "dc=example,dc=com" "cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com"

I tried, but still get ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)

Thanks a lot!
Tianyin
