Yes,
With the keytab provided you do

wireshark -K path_to_keytab trace.pcap,

Wireshark must be configurated to decrypt krb5 blobs (see 
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Wireshark_Keytab).

Yes check the attached screenshot.

And yes all the objects are removed.


I've the feeling that the isCriticalObject rule apply only for the 
subobjects, that is to say if I CN=foo,CN=bar,DC=domain,DC=tld with 
isCriticalObject then if I try to use the subtree
on CN=bar,DC=domain,DC=tld it should fail. But if the isCriticalObject 
is only on CN=bar,DC=domain,DC=tld then the use of the deltree is permited.

Because, as explained in the next section, deleted objects never have children, the result after deletion stops due to this constraint is a tree. The resultant tree may not be the same as the original tree because some objects may have been deleted prior to the failure.
