How do I delete specific attributes in LDAP using ldap-utils command-line?

I'm trying to remove two attributes from LDAP user.

Pseudo command:

ldapdelete -D "uid=username,attribute1,attribute2" -w my_pass -h localhost

How do I do that?

Note: When searching I'm using the following working command:

ldapsearch -D "cn=my-test,ou=Services,dc=foo,dc=com" -w my_pass -h localhost -b "ou=Non-Enterprise,ou=People,dc=foo,dc=com" -s sub -x -ZZ "(uid=username)"

ldapdelete is to remove entries, you need to use ldapmodify to delete attributes.

This command should remove attribute1 and attribute2 from the username entry:

$ ldapmodify -D "uid=..." -w ... -h ... <<%EOF%
dn: uid=username,ou=Non-Enterprise,ou=People,dc=foo,dc=com
changetype: modify
delete: attribute1
-
delete: attribute2
%EOF%
