RE: ldapdelete failing

Hi

I'm trying to delete an entry in my ldap database. But when issuing this command I am getting an error:

[root@ldap01:~/ldap] #ldapdelete -v -x  'dn: uid=spencer,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com' -D cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com -W ldap_initialize( <DEFAULT> ) Enter LDAP Password:  deleting entry "dn: uid=spencer,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com" ldap_delete: Invalid DN syntax (34)        additional info: invalid DN

The 'dn: ' bit is not part of the DN, try

ldapdelete -v -x -W uid=spencer,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com
