    Hi @Henchway :

    There is also a LDAP Delete Attibute Value snap which will delete just the values for the attribute.

    It looks like the LDAP Delete Attribute snap will remove the attribute and value.

    The snap looks up the distinguished name and then submits a ModifyRequest to remove the attribute. We use the Apache Directory API to do this which documents removal as “removing an attribute and value from an entry”.

    That said, I actually haven’t tested this, but could to confirm. Others may have experience doing this.
