NAME

       grid-mapfile-delete-entry - Remove entries from a gridmap file

SYNOPSIS

       grid-mapfile-delete-entry [-help] [-usage] [-version] [-versions]

       grid-mapfile-delete-entry {-dn DISTINGUISHED-NAME} {-ln LOCAL-NAME...}
				 [[-d] | [-dryrun]]
				 [[-mapfile MAPFILE] | [-f MAPFILE]]

DESCRIPTION

       The grid-mapfile-delete-entry program deletes mappings from a gridmap file. If both the -dn and -ln> options are specified,
       grid-mapfile-delete-entry removes entries which meet both criteria (remove entries mapping DISTINGUISHED-NAME to LOCAL-NAME for each
       LOCAL-NAME specified). If only -dn or -ln is specified all entries for that DISTINGUISHED-NAME or LOCAL-NAME are removed.

       By default, grid-mapfile-delete-entry will modify the gridmap file named by the GRIDMAP environment variable if present, or the file
       /etc/grid-security/grid-mapfile if not. This can be changed by the use of the -mapfile or -f command-line options.

       Prior to modifying a gridmap file, grid-mapfile-delete-entry saves its current contents to a file with the string .old appended to the
       original file name.

       The full set of command-line options to grid-mapfile-delete-entry are:

       -help, -usage
	   Display the command-line options to grid-mapfile-delete-entry.

       -version, -versions
	   Display the version number of the grid-mapfile-delete-entry command. The second form includes more details.

       -dn DISTINGUISHED-NAME
	   The X.509 distinguished name to remove from the gridmap file. If the -ln option is not specified, remove all entries for this name;
	   otherwise, remove entries that match both this name and the local name. The name should be in OpenSSL's oneline format.

       -ln LOCAL-NAME...
	   The POSIX user name to remove from the gridmap file. Include multiple LOCAL-NAME strings after the -ln command-line option to remove
	   multiple names from the gridmap. If the -dn option is not specifeid, remove all entries for these names; otherwise, remove entries that
	   match the DISTINGUISHED-NAME and any of the LOCAL-NAME values.

       -d, -dryrun
	   Display diagnostics about what would be removed from the gridmap file, but don't actually modify the file.

       -mapfile MAPFILE, -f MAPFILE
	   Modify the gridmap file named by MAPFILE instead of the default.

EXAMPLES

       Remove all mappings for a distinguished name:

	   % grid-mapfile-delete-entry "/DC=org/DC=example/DC=grid/CN=Joe User"
	   Modifying /etc/grid-security/grid-mapfile ...
	   Deleting entry: "/DC=org/DC=example/DC=grid/CN=Joe User" juser,juser2
	   (1) entry deleted

       Remove the mapping between a distinguished name and a single local username:

	   % grid-mapfile-delete-entry "/DC=org/DC=example/DC=grid/CN=Joe User" -ln juser2
	   Modifying /etc/grid-security/grid-mapfile ...
	   Current entry: "/DC=org/DC=example/DC=grid/CN=Joe User" juser
	   (1) mapping removed: (juser2), (0) not present and ignored
	   (0) entries deleted
