NAME

6       idsconfig  -  prepare an iPlanet Directory Server (iDS) to be populated
7       with data and serve LDAP clients
8

SYNOPSIS

10        /usr/lib/ldap/idsconfig [-v] [-i input_configfile]
11            [-o output_configfile]

DESCRIPTION

15       Use the idsconfig tool to set up an iPlanet Directory Server (iDS). You
16       can specify the input configuration file with the -i option on the com‐
17       mand line. Alternatively, the tool will prompt the user for  configura‐
18       tion information. The input configuration  file is created by idsconfig
19       with the -o option on a previous run.
20
21
22       The first time a server is set up, the user is  prompted  for  all  the
23       required information.  Future installations on that machine can use the
24       configuration file previously  generated  by  idsconfig  using  the  -o
25       option.
26
27
28       The  output  configuration  file contains the directory administrator's
29       password in clear text. Thus, if you are creating an output  configura‐
30       tion file, take appropriate security precautions.
31
32
33       You  should back up the directory server's configuration and data prior
34       to running this command.
35

OPTIONS

37       The following options are supported:
38
39       -i input_configfile     Specify the file name for idsconfig to use as a
40                               configuration  file.  This file will be read by
41                               idsconfig, and the values  in the file will  be
42                               used  to configure the server.  Do not manually
43                               edit input_configfile. The input_configfile  is
44                               only  partially validated, as idsconfig assumes
45                               that the file was created by a previous invoca‐
46                               tion of the command.
47
48
49       -o output_configfile    Create a configuration file.
50
51
52       -v                      Verbose output.
