Hi Quanah, I just did a fresh install on another Debian 10 system and tried
ldapdelete -D "cn=admin,dc=nodomain" -W "cn=admin,dc=nodomain" -n -v ldap_initialize( <DEFAULT> ) Enter LDAP Password: !deleting entry "cn=admin,dc=nodomain" Works also without -n of course, and deletes the object actually. PS: sure it makes no sense to delete the admin object, but I have just tried to find an example which can be tried in a few minutes. Thank you, Werner > Gesendet: Dienstag, 15.
