Package: ldap-utils
Followup-For: Bug #334354
Hi,
I checked with OpenLDPA 2.4.15:
While it is true that ldapdelete cannot deal with base64-encoded DNs,
ldapmodify and the other tools that deal with LDIF files can.
IMHO it cannot be seen as a bug in ldapdelete that it does not extend
the notion of a base64-encoded value/DN from LDIF, where the double colon ::
after the attribute specification clearly indicates that a base64-encoded
value follows, to a command line argument where this distinction cannot be made.
Nonetheless there are at least two ways to delete entries with special chars in
the DN:
- ldapmodify with a delta LDIF file and "changetype: delete"
- ldapdelete with a correctly escaped DN.
e.g. for the DN in the bug:
ldapdelete .... 'cn=ud-A204-8040\0D\0A\0D\0ATermi...'
Regards
Peter
