HI!
In web2ldap I've implemented in Python the recursive tree deletion also
based on various operational attributes like hasSubordinates,
numSubordinates etc. It also catches the exception
ldap.NOT_ALLOWED_ON_NONLEAF and starts a new search then. Also
exceptions ldap.SIZELIMIT_EXCEEDED and ldap.ADMINLIMIT_EXCEEDED are
gracefully handled for large result sets hitting a server-side limit.
I'm not sure whether it's really "optimal" but I think I've managed to
lower the number of search requests needed without having to rely on any
sorting.
Ciao, Michael.

Hi group,
I've a question about deleting the hierarchy tree using the Fedora DS
provided command line utilities (e.g. ldapdelete, ldapsearch, ldapmodify
and etc).
Originally, I'm using the "ldapdelete" command from the openldapclient
package with the "-r" flag to do recursive delete on the hierarchy tree,
but I want to know if there's anyway I can achieve the same effect by
using command line utilities from the Fedora DS package.
My original thought is to use ldapsearch, set it to return only the "dn"
attribute and sorted by "createtimestamp" attribute. Then use the
returned result and run the ldapdelete command. Assuming a child entry
must have a later "createtimestamp" then parent entry. However, the
result returned back from ldapsearch is in ascending order of the
"createtimestamp" attribute.
Is there a way to tell the ldapsearch command to sort returned result in
descending order? or
Is there a more efficient way to delete a hierarchy tree through command
line?
Thanks!
David
