8 idsconfig \- prepare an iPlanet Directory Server (iDS) to be populated with
9 data and serve LDAP clients
13 \fB /usr/lib/ldap/idsconfig\fR [\fB-v\fR] [\fB-i\fR \fIinput_configfile\fR]
14 [\fB-o\fR \fIoutput_configfile\fR]
20 Use the \fBidsconfig\fR tool to set up an iPlanet Directory Server (iDS). You
21 can specify the input configuration file with the \fB-i\fR option on the
22 command line. Alternatively, the tool will prompt the user for configuration
23 information. The input configuration file is created by \fBidsconfig\fR with
24 the \fB-o\fR option on a previous run.
27 The first time a server is set up, the user is prompted for all the required
28 information. Future installations on that machine can use the configuration
29 file previously generated by \fBidsconfig\fR using the \fB-o\fR option.
32 The output configuration file contains the directory administrator's password
33 in clear text. Thus, if you are creating an output configuration file, take
34 appropriate security precautions.
37 You should back up the directory server's configuration and data prior to
42 The following options are supported:
46 \fB\fB-i\fR \fIinput_configfile\fR\fR
49 Specify the file name for \fBidsconfig\fR to use as a configuration file. This
50 file will be read by \fBidsconfig\fR, and the values in the file will be used
51 to configure the server. Do not manually edit \fIinput_configfile\fR. The
52 \fIinput_configfile\fR is only partially validated, as \fBidsconfig\fR assumes
53 that the file was created by a previous invocation of the command.
59 \fB\fB-o\fR \fIoutput_configfile\fR\fR
62 Create a configuration file.
77 The following operands are supported:
81 \fB\fIinput_configfile\fR\fR
84 Name of configuration file for \fBidsconfig\fR to use.
90 \fB\fIoutput_configfile\fR\fR
93 Configuration file created by \fBidsconfig\fR.
98 \fBExample 1 \fRPrompting the User for Input
101 In the following example, the user is prompted for information to set up iDS.
106 example# \fBidsconfig\fR
112 \fBExample 2 \fRCreating an Output Configuration File
115 In the following example, the user is prompted for information to set up iDS,
116 and an output configuration file, \fBconfig.1\fR, is created when completed.
121 example# \fBidsconfig -o config.1\fR
127 \fBExample 3 \fRSetting up iDS Using the Specified Configuration File
130 In the following example, iDS is set up by using the values specified in the
131 configuration file, \fBconfig.1\fR. The verbose mode is specified, so detailed
132 information will print to the screen.
137 example# \fBidsconfig -v -i config.1\fR
145 The following exit values are returned:
