Users are stored in LDAP under `ou=people,o=(org-inum),o=gluu` There is no easy way to delete all people. You may just want to do a fresh Gluu Server install. Alternately, ldapsearch: ``` # /opt/opendj/bin/ldapsearch -h localhost -p 1636 -Z -X -D "Cn=directory manager" -j ~/.pw -b "o=gluu" "objectclass=person" dn | grep dn > people.ldif ``` _Note: put the DM password in ~/.pw and remove it when you're done with this process. _ Then write a simple python program... like `deletePeople.py` ```python #!/usr/bin/python f = open(people.ldif) lines = f.readlines() for line in lines: print line.strip() print changetype: delete print ``` Then run the program ``` # ./deletePeople.py > delPeople.ldif ``` Then load the ldif ``` # /opt/opendj/bin/ldapmodify -h localhost -p 1636 -Z -X \ -D "Cn=directory manager" -j ~/.pw -f delPeople.ldif ```

There must be an ldif file or something somewhere where a list of Users are stored (ou=people)? Can't I just delete the Users out of this file and do an ldapmodify?

When I look into the 'people.ldif' file, there is only the admin account listed there? When there are several other test accounts that have been created? Which file would they be stored in?

For directory manager, as you install opendj as a feature when installing gluu is there a default directory manager password set? is that the 'ldapPass' found in setup.properties file? Thanks

Ok thanks, I can confirm I have run the "/opt/opendj/bin/ldapsearch -h localhost -p 1636 -Z -X -D "Cn=directory manager" -j ~/.pw -b "o=gluu" "objectclass=person" dn | grep dn > people.ldif" command, but when the people.ldif file is created - no entries are in there...?
