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,****

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

thx for the reply, Brian!
yes, you are right. Could you tell me why the following command is wrong?
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.
Thanks a lot!****
