Delete LDAP Linux Accounts
==========================
.. rubric:: |context|
When a |LDAP| user account is created in the |LDAP| server, using
:command:`sudo ldapusersetup` command, a corresponding |LDAP| Linux user is
created on the |prod| by mapping the |LDAP| user attributes to Linux user
attributes. The delete operation of a |LDAP| Linux account involves both the
deletion from the Linux system as well as the deletion of the corresponding
|LDAP| server object.
The home directory for a new |LDAP| Linux user will be created after the first
login, as: ``/home/<username>``. At the same time, the user will be prompted to
change the default password to a secure password based on mandatory format
rules.
