18 A summary of options is included below:
19
20 -Z Server Identifier
21 The server ID of the Directory Server instance. If there is
22 only one instance on the system, this option can be skipped.
23
24 -D Root DN
25 The Directory Manager DN, or root DN. If not specified, the
26 script will search the server instance configuration for the
27 value.
28

30 The rootdn password.
31
32 -w -
33 Prompt for the rootdn password.
34

36 The name of the file that contains the root DN password.
37
38 -P Protocol
39 The connection protocol to connect to the Directory Server.
40 Protocols are STARTTLS, LDAPS, LDAPI, and LDAP. If this option
41 is skipped, the most secure protocol that is available is used.
42 For LDAPI, AUTOBIND is also available for the root user.
43
44 -h host
45 Host name of the Directory Server.
46
47 -p port
48 Port number of the Directory Server.

50 -U userDN
51 Specifies the DN of the user entry that needs to be updated with
52 user-level password policy attributes.
53
54 -S suffixDN
55 Specifies the DN of the suffix entry that needs to be updated
56 with subtree-level password policy attributes.

63 STARTTLS -U 'uid=user,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com'
64
65 Note: security must be enabled to use protocol STARTTLS. If
66 STARTTLS is not available it will default to next strong‐
67 est/available protocol automatically.

70 Exit status is zero if no errors occur. Errors result in a non-zero
71 exit status and a diagnostic message being written to standard error.
