Using the command line

You can issue the provided command to remove an attribute from the list of unique attributes using the command line.

About this task

idsldapmodify -D <adminDN> -w <adminPW> -i <filename>

where <filename> contains:

dn: cn=uniqueattributes,cn=localhost
changetype: modify
cn: uniqueattributes
ibm-UniqueAttributeTypes:AIXAdminUserId

To remove all of the unique attributes stored in, for example, cn=localhost issue the command:
