For the life of me I can not figure out the syntax for performing this.  Here is my snippet of config.ldif:


dn: olcDatabase={1}hdb,cn=config
objectClass: olcDatabaseConfig
objectClass: olcHdbConfig
olcDatabase: {1}hdb
olcSuffix: dc=sakai,dc=uri,dc=edu
olcAccess: {0}to *  by peername.ip="131.128.1.0%255.255.255.0" +0 break  by

  .255.8%255.255.255.248" +0 break  by peername.ip="127.0.0.1" +0 break

olcAddContentAcl: FALSE
olcLastMod: TRUE

olcReadOnly: FALSE
olcRootDN: cn=Manager,dc=sakai,dc=uri,dc=edu
.....

I need to remove the olcAccess {0} as we need to access this server from new ips.  We are using a firewall to protect the server going forward.

I have created the file removeips containing:

dn: olcDatabase={1}hdb,cn=config
changetype: modify
delete: olcAccess
olcAccess: {1}

there is no olcaccess attribute with a value of "{1}".

That is not relevant. The ordered values syntax allows modifications of this form. https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-chu-ldap-xordered-00

additionally, if you wish to delete the attribute whose value starts with {0}, i'm not sure why you're specifying the attribute whose value starts with {1} in your ldif.

Yes, that's the better question.
