Class LDAPDelete

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    UnsolicitedNotificationHandler
    @ThreadSafety(level=NOT_THREADSAFE)
public final class LDAPDelete
extends LDAPCommandLineTool
implements UnsolicitedNotificationHandler
    This class provides a command-line tool that can be used to delete one or more entries from an LDAP directory server. The DNs of entries to delete can be provided through command-line arguments, read from a file, or read from standard input. Alternately, the tool can delete entries matching a given search filter.
    NOTE: This class, and other classes within the com.unboundid.ldap.sdk.unboundidds package structure, are only supported for use against Ping Identity, UnboundID, and Nokia/Alcatel-Lucent 8661 server products. These classes provide support for proprietary functionality or for external specifications that are not considered stable or mature enough to be guaranteed to work in an interoperable way with other types of LDAP servers.

      • getMaxTrailingArguments

        public int getMaxTrailingArguments()
        Retrieves the maximum number of unnamed trailing arguments that may be provided for this tool. If a tool supports trailing arguments, then it must override this method to return a nonzero value, and must also override the CommandLineTool.getTrailingArgumentsPlaceholder() method to return a non-null value.
        Overrides:
        getMaxTrailingArguments in class CommandLineTool
        Returns:
        The maximum number of unnamed trailing arguments that may be provided for this tool. A value of zero indicates that trailing arguments are not allowed. A negative value indicates that there should be no limit on the number of trailing arguments.

      • getTrailingArgumentsPlaceholder

        @NotNull
public java.lang.String getTrailingArgumentsPlaceholder()
        Retrieves a placeholder string that should be used for trailing arguments in the usage information for this tool.
        Overrides:
        getTrailingArgumentsPlaceholder in class CommandLineTool
        Returns:
        A placeholder string that should be used for trailing arguments in the usage information for this tool, or null if trailing arguments are not supported.

      • supportsInteractiveMode

        public boolean supportsInteractiveMode()
        Indicates whether this tool should provide support for an interactive mode, in which the tool offers a mode in which the arguments can be provided in a text-driven menu rather than requiring them to be given on the command line. If interactive mode is supported, it may be invoked using the "--interactive" argument. Alternately, if interactive mode is supported and CommandLineTool.defaultsToInteractiveMode() returns true, then interactive mode may be invoked by simply launching the tool without any arguments.
        Overrides:
        supportsInteractiveMode in class CommandLineTool
        Returns:
        true if this tool supports interactive mode, or false if not.

      • supportsPropertiesFile

        public boolean supportsPropertiesFile()
        Indicates whether this tool supports the use of a properties file for specifying default values for arguments that aren't specified on the command line.
        Overrides:
        supportsPropertiesFile in class CommandLineTool
        Returns:
        true if this tool supports the use of a properties file for specifying default values for arguments that aren't specified on the command line, or false if not.

      • supportsOutputFile

        public boolean supportsOutputFile()
        Indicates whether this tool should provide arguments for redirecting output to a file. If this method returns true, then the tool will offer an "--outputFile" argument that will specify the path to a file to which all standard output and standard error content will be written, and it will also offer a "--teeToStandardOut" argument that can only be used if the "--outputFile" argument is present and will cause all output to be written to both the specified output file and to standard output.
        Overrides:
        supportsOutputFile in class CommandLineTool
        Returns:
        true if this tool should provide arguments for redirecting output to a file, or false if not.

      • defaultToPromptForBindPassword

        protected boolean defaultToPromptForBindPassword()
        Indicates whether this tool should default to interactively prompting for the bind password if a password is required but no argument was provided to indicate how to get the password.
        Overrides:
        defaultToPromptForBindPassword in class LDAPCommandLineTool
        Returns:
        true if this tool should default to interactively prompting for the bind password, or false if not.

      • includeAlternateLongIdentifiers

        protected boolean includeAlternateLongIdentifiers()
        Indicates whether the LDAP-specific arguments should include alternate versions of all long identifiers that consist of multiple words so that they are available in both camelCase and dash-separated versions.
        Overrides:
        includeAlternateLongIdentifiers in class LDAPCommandLineTool
        Returns:
        true if this tool should provide multiple versions of long identifiers for LDAP-specific arguments, or false if not.

      • supportsSSLDebugging

        protected boolean supportsSSLDebugging()
        Indicates whether this tool should provide a command-line argument that allows for low-level SSL debugging. If this returns true, then an "--enableSSLDebugging" argument will be added that sets the "javax.net.debug" system property to "all" before attempting any communication.
        Overrides:
        supportsSSLDebugging in class LDAPCommandLineTool
        Returns:
        true if this tool should offer an "--enableSSLDebugging" argument, or false if not.

      • logToolInvocationByDefault

        protected boolean logToolInvocationByDefault()
        Indicates whether to log messages about the launch and completion of this tool into the invocation log of Ping Identity server products that may include it. This method is not needed for tools that are not expected to be part of the Ping Identity server products suite. Further, this value may be overridden by settings in the server's tool-invocation-logging.properties file.

        This method should generally return true for tools that may alter the server configuration, data, or other state information, and false for tools that do not make any changes.
        Overrides:
        logToolInvocationByDefault in class CommandLineTool
        Returns:
        true if Ping Identity server products should include messages about the launch and completion of this tool in tool invocation log files by default, or false if not.

      • getBindControls

        getBindControls in class LDAPCommandLineTool
        Returns:
        A set of controls that should be included in any bind request generated by this tool. It may be null or empty if no controls should be included in the bind request.

      • supportsMultipleServers

        protected boolean supportsMultipleServers()
        Indicates whether this tool supports creating connections to multiple servers. If it is to support multiple servers, then the "--hostname" and "--port" arguments will be allowed to be provided multiple times, and will be required to be provided the same number of times. The same type of communication security and bind credentials will be used for all servers.
        Overrides:
        supportsMultipleServers in class LDAPCommandLineTool
        Returns:
        true if this tool supports creating connections to multiple servers, or false if not.

        @NotNull
public java.util.LinkedHashMap<java.lang.String[],​java.lang.String> getExampleUsages()
        Retrieves a set of information that may be used to generate example usage information. Each element in the returned map should consist of a map between an example set of arguments and a string that describes the behavior of the tool when invoked with that set of arguments.
        Overrides:
        getExampleUsages in class CommandLineTool
        Returns:
        A set of information that may be used to generate example usage information. It may be null or empty if no example usage information is available.
