To disable soft deletes on your PingDirectory server, reset the global configuration property and the remove the soft-delete policy.
From that point, PingDirectory processes all deletes as hard deletes by default. Any use of the soft-deleted options with the LDAP tools results in an error. Any existing soft-deleted entries that are present disabling after the global configuration remain in the server as latent entries.
Note:
Be sure to include the LDAP bind parameters for your system when running each of these commands.
