Completely Unisntall OpenLDAP

Post by Lipe_Shtogu » 2019/04/08 09:00:08

Hi all
i need to completely uninstall open ldap.
I have tried numerous times to uninstall but some files are still on my system.

yum -y remove openldap-servers openldap-clients
rm -rf /var/lib/ldap
userdel ldap

What command do i have to use for complete removal?

You cannot.

The 'openldap' package itself is a dependency of many system critical packages and an attempt to yum remove openldap will end with

Error: Trying to remove "yum", which is protected

Why do you think you want to do this?
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

Uninstalling it will not help with that. It's a configuration error.

Do you mean that authentication to the machine is now trying against an LDAP installation that doesn't exist (in which case dive into pam module stacks)?
But yeah, it's easier to start off from fresh.
