To completely remove an LDAP server from different tools, you need to follow these steps:
1. Review your LDAP server configuration and make a backup of the existing configuration. Make sure all data has been backed up and stored in a safe location.
1. Remove the LDAP server configuration from all tools that use it. This may include applications, web servers, and LDAP clients.
1. Remove any references to the LDAP server in configuration files. This may include files such as /etc/hosts, /etc/nsswitch.conf, /etc/openldap/ldap.conf, /etc/pam\_ldap.conf, and others.
1. Remove the LDAP server from any DNS records that reference it.
1. Make sure that any LDAP-related services that are running on the server are stopped and disabled.
1. Delete the LDAP server’s data and configuration files. This may include data files such as /var/lib/ldap or /usr/local/var/openldap-data and configuration files such as /etc/ldap/slapd.d or /usr/local/etc/openldap/slapd.conf.
1. Remove the LDAP server package(s) from the system. This will vary depending on your Linux distribution and package manager. For example, on Ubuntu, you can use the command `sudo apt-get purge slapd` to remove the OpenLDAP package.
1. Restart the system to ensure that all changes are applied.
By following these steps, you can completely remove an LDAP server from different tools and ensure that it no longer affects any part of your system.
