17 A summary of options is included below:

20 The server ID of the Directory Server instance. If there is
21 only one instance on the system, this option can be skipped.
22
23 -D Root DN
24 The Directory Manager DN, or root DN. If not specified, the
25 script will search the server instance configuration for the
26 value.
27
28 -w password
29 The rootdn password.
30
31 -f LDIF file
32 The LDIF file with the entries to add.
33
34 -P Protocol
35 The connection protocol to connect to the Directory Server.
36 Protocols are STARTTLS, LDAPS, LDAPI, and LDAP. If this option
37 is skipped, the most secure protocol that is available is used.
38 For LDAPI, AUTOBIND is also available for the root user.
