To delete an ACI using the command line:

dn: ou=People,dc=example,dc=com
changetype: delete
delete: aci
    • If multiple ACIs exist on the entry and you want to delete a specific ACI, specify the exact ACI: 
      # ldapmodify -D "cn=Directory Manager" -W -p 389 -h server.example.com -x
dn: ou=People,dc=example,dc=com
changetype: modify
delete: aci
