Topic: Cant remove email value in ldapadmin

Hi.

Because I didn't read the wiki well enough, i made a mistake.
I have a user mailbox (user1) on my server, and I wanted to add an email forward (alias1 -> user1).
I added it under the user1 entry, but now I receive 2 emails everytime. I am aware of, that I didn't set up a forward propertly, but I cant seem to remove the "alias1" email value.

I hope someone kan help me out, so I can get the forward added correctly.

Re: Cant remove email value in ldapadmin

phpLDAPadmin should works fine. How did you remove it? and what's the error message?

Re: Cant remove email value in ldapadmin

I didn't remove it, as I also write. There is no error message.
Its under:
dc=examaple,dc=com -> o=domains -> domainName=example.com -> ou=Users -> mail=user1@example.com.

Under "Email" i have added the Alias1, which was a mistake, because now I get all emails twice. But I cant remove the email I have added. I can choose "add value" or "rename". Rename only alows you to rename the first email given (User1).

Re: Cant remove email value in ldapadmin

You can export LDIF data with phpLDAPadmin.

Re: Cant remove email value in ldapadmin

OK, you can remove it with below steps:

1) Create file 'entrymods' with below content:

dn: mail=user1@example.com,ou=Users,domainName=example.com,o=domains,dc=example,dc=com
changetype: modify
delete: mail
mail: alias1@example.com

IMPORTANT NOTE:
* Please leave an empty line at the bottom, it's required. (The 5th line is an empty line in our example.)
* Make sure you have email address which you want to remove in this file.

2) Execute command 'ldapmodify' to modify your ldap user object.

# ldapmodify -x -D 'cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com' -W -f entrymods

That's all.
