Hello

The Subtree Delete Control (1.2.840.113556.1.4.805) supported by OUD (Supported LDAP Controls - Oracle Fusion Middleware Architecture Reference for Oracle Unified Directory)  might fit your needs.

This control is attached to a delete request to indicate that the specified entry and all descendant entries are to be deleted.

You must have appropriate privileges to do that (admin account)

You can attached control to a ldapdelete using the -J option as described in ldapdelete - Oracle Fusion Middleware Command-Line Usage Guide for Oracle Unified Directory

Thanks Sylvain.

I tried with this command to delete entries

ldapdelete -J subtreedelete -h localhost -p 1389 -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w password -x ou=ext,ou=users,dc=example,dc=com

There are about 2 lakhs entries inside this OU and it is taking infact it is running since a hr and still it has not completed the operation.

Is there some other setting which i need to do.

regards,

Ram

Hello,

There is no additional thing to do, adding the control should work.

If it takes a very long time to delete thats one thing, if  it never completes and seem to hang this is another thing.

Has it deleted some entries or does it seem to hang w/o deleting any entry ?

Current implementation may be slow with large trees.

If the problem persists, I would encourage you to contact the Oracle Support so that they can investigate
