Hi, I'm having problems deleting something from 389DS. At one point I had a link to use an external LDAP server for authentication for a particular client. I now need to delete this but I am having trouble.

Firstly I can't find this object in either the directory manager or ldapadmin.

I can see the object using db2ldif: # entry-id: 1838 dn: cn=bloggsco,dc=mycompany,dc=com objectClass: top objectClass: groupofuniquenames objectClass: referral cn: Algeco creatorsName: cn=directory manager modifiersName: cn=directory manager createTimestamp: 20130410154401Z modifyTimestamp: 20130410154518Z nsUniqueId: 6b12f481-a1f511e2-a5a7b2a9-738d4470 ref: ldap://ldap.bloggsco.com:389/ou%3dUsers,o%3dbloggsco,c%3dcom

I can find the entry with ldapsearch: [root@logger ~]# ldapsearch -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w mypassword -p 389 -h localhost -s sub -b dc=mycompany,dc=com -x dn=cn=bloggsco,dc=mycompany,dc=com # extended LDIF # # LDAPv3 # base <dc=mycompany,dc=com> with scope subtree # filter: dn=cn=bloggsco,dc=mycompany,dc=com # requesting: ALL #

# search reference ref: ldap://ldap.bloggsco.com:389/ou%3dUsers,o%3dbloggsco,c%3dcom

# search result search: 2 result: 0 Success

# numResponses: 2 # numReferences: 1

but I can't delete with ldapdelete: [root@logger ~]# ldapdelete -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w mypassword -p 389 -h localhost -x dn=cn=bloggsco,dc=mycompany,dc=com ldap_delete: No such object (32) matched DN: dc=mycompany,dc=com

any ideas?
