OPTIONS

17       A summary of options is included below:
18
19       -a archivedir

21
22       -Z Server Identifier
23              The  server  ID  of  the Directory Server instance.  If there is
24              only one instance on the system, this option can be skipped.
25
26       -D Root DN
27              The Directory Manager DN, or root DN.   If  not  specified,  the
28              script  will  search  the  server instance configuration for the
29              value.
30
31       -w password
32              The rootdn password.

39

41              The backend database type (default: ldbm database).

47              The connection protocol to  connect  to  the  Directory  Server.
48              Protocols  are STARTTLS, LDAPS, LDAPI, and LDAP.  If this option
49              is skipped, the most secure protocol that is available is  used.
50              For LDAPI, AUTOBIND is also available for the root user.
