Deleting Users from Groups

To delete a user from a group

  1. After the Fabric Manager upgrade process, browse to the /usr/local/ffm/scripts/ldap folder and copy the delete-user-from-group.ldif file to the/home/administrator folder. It is recommended that you retain the same name.

  2. Using an editor such as vi, edit the file as follows and save the changes. The file also contains instructions in the form of comments.

    Note: When you replace the placeholders with actual values in the file, ensure that you remove the angular brackets.

    1. In the following line, replace <groupname> with the name of the group from which the user has to be removed:

      dn: cn=<groupname>,ou=groups,dc=unisys,dc=com

    2. In the following line, replace <userid> with the user id of the user who has to be removed from the group:

      uniqueMember: uid=<userid>,ou=users,dc=unisys,dc=com

  3. Login to the FMP and open a new terminal session; or if you are connecting remotely, use a tool like PuTTY or the remote desktop function of the Fabric Management Platform and execute the following command: 

    ldapmodify -D "cn=root,dc=unisys,dc=com" -W -f /home/administrator/delete-user-from-group.ldif

  4. Type the password. The default password is ‘LDAPAdmin@1’.

The user is removed from the specified group.
