I also delete the mapping tree entry, which maps the suffix to the backend database: dn: cn="dc=ebi,dc=ac,dc=uk",cn=mapping tree,cn=config objectclass: top objectclass: extensibleObject objectclass: nsMappingTree nsslapd-state: backend nsslapd-backend: userRoot cn: dc=ebi,dc=ac,dc=uk The GUI works slightly differently, it sets nsslapd-state to "disabled" and removes the nsslapd-backend attribute. If anyone has a need for a script that can delete and create a database, I can send it to the list. I use Python with python-ldap package. Thank you very much for a fast response! Ville
