System Administration Commands                      idsconfig(1M)



NAME
     idsconfig - prepare a Directory  Server  Enterprise  Edition
     (DSEE) to be populated with data and serve LDAP clients

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


DESCRIPTION
     Use the idsconfig tool to set up a Directory  Server  Enter-
     prise  Edition  (DSEE). You can specify the input configura-
     tion file with the -i option on the command  line.  Alterna-
     tively,  the  tool  will  prompt  the user for configuration
     information. The input  configuration  file  is  created  by
     idsconfig with the -o option on a previous run.


     The first time a server is set up, the user is prompted  for
     all  the  required information. Future installations on that
     machine can use the configuration file previously  generated
     by idsconfig using the -o option.


     The  output  configuration  file  contains   the   directory
     administrator's  password  in  clear  text. Thus, if you are
     creating an  output  configuration  file,  take  appropriate
     security precautions.


     You should back up the directory server's configuration  and
     data prior to running this command.

OPTIONS
     The following options are supported:

     -i input_configfile

         Specify the file name for idsconfig to use as  a  confi-
         guration  file. This file will be read by idsconfig, and
         the values in the file will be  used  to  configure  the
         server.  Do  not  manually  edit  input_configfile.  The
         input_configfile is only partially validated, as idscon-
         fig  assumes  that  the  file  was created by a previous
         invocation of the command.


     -o output_configfile

         Create a configuration file.
