Q.
Using NJCL/JNDI, how can I delete one value from a multivalue attribute? For example, how can I delete just one group from the "Group Membership" attribute?
A.
Just ensure you pass an attribute containing a value as well as the attribute name to the remove operation. For example:
Attribute groupMembership = new
BasicAttribute("groupMembership", "some value you
wish to delete');
Attributes attsToRemove = new BasicAttributes();
attsToRemove.put(groupMembership);
dirContext.modifyAttributes(someObjectName,
DirContext.REMOVE_ATTRIBUTE, attsToRemove);
