IBM Security Directory Server, Version 6.3.1

Removing a suffix

To remove a suffix use, one of the following methods.

Using Web Administration

Note:
Defined suffixes such as cn=localhost, cn=Deleted Objects, cn=schema and cn=ibmpolicies cannot be added or removed. Consequently, they are not displayed in the panel.

If you have not done so already, click Server administration in the Web Administration navigation area and then click Manage server properties in the expanded list. Next, click the Suffixes tab.

  1. From the Current suffix DNs list box, select the suffixes you want to remove.
  2. Click Remove.
  3. When you are finished, click Apply to save your changes without exiting, or click OK to apply your changes and exit, or click Cancel to exit this panel without making any changes.

Using the command line

Note:
The removal of system defined suffixes such as cn=localhost, cn=pwdpolicy, cn=schema and cn=ibmpolicies is not supported.

To perform the same operations using the command line, issue the following command:

idsldapmodify -D  adminDN  -w  adminPW  -i  filename

where filename contains:

DN: cn=Directory, cn=RDBM Backends, cn=IBM Directory, cn=Schemas, cn=Configuration
changetype: modify
delete: ibm-slapdSuffix
ibm-slapdSuffix:  suffixname 
ibm-slapdSuffix:  suffix2 
ibm-slapdSuffix:  suffix3

You must restart the server for the change to take effect.

You can also use the idsucfgsuf command to delete suffixes one at a time:

idsucfgsuf -I  instancename  -s  suffixname
