How to delete user in RATIONAL DIRECTORY SERVER

Question & Answer

Question

How can you delete a user in RATIONAL DIRECTORY SERVER?

Cause

DOORS is integrated with RATIONAL DIRECTORY SERVER to use LDAP. But some user can not log in to DOORS. Delete the user in RDS and recreate in LDAP.

Answer

If RDS is configured in corporate mode, user cannot be deleted from the RDA.

Run the following command to delete users:

/opt/ibm/ldap/V6.3/bin> ldapsearch -p 1389 -D "uid=tdsadmin,ou=people,dc=telelogic,dc=com" -w <tdsadmin_password> -s sub -b "ou=People,dc=telelogic,dc=com" -s sub -b "" uid=<userid>

Example:

/opt/ibm/ldap/V6.3/bin> ldapsearch -p 1389 -D "uid=tdsadmin,ou=people,dc=telelogic,dc=com" -w pass123 -s sub -b "ou=People,dc=telelogic,dc=com" -s sub -b "" uid=doors1

This command will see if the particular user exists in Tivoli, if so, send IBM support the output.
