Hi Tianyin,
if you want to delete the entry cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com, it has to be the
last part of your ldapdelete command.
The argument for -D is the account you use to bind against the LDAP server. So
your command should look like this:
ldapdelete -D "cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com" -w secret -x
"cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com"
Btw. Did you set a password for the Manager account already?
Best regards,
Michael

Subject: Re: ldapdelete "ldap_bind: Invalid DN syntax (34)"
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

Did you look at the manpage for ldapdelete? E.g.:
http://linux.die.net/man/1/ldapdelete
> ldapdelete "cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com" -x -w secret
> ldap_bind: Invalid DN syntax (34)
> additional info: invalid DN
The DN you with to bind with needs to be specified with '-D', just
as your correct invocation does.
