documentation and there seems to be a way to create the database from
command line, but no way to delete it, except from the GUI?
Just delete the entry (e.g. delete cn=userRoot,cn=ldbm
database,cn=plugins,cn=config). You will have to do some sort of recursive
deletion to remove all of the child entries. I think this is what the GUI
does - just check the access logs for the server after deleting the database
in the console.
Thank you Richard, that worked very well. 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
