The ImportResources Utility
EPICenter Software Installation and User Guide 491
Importing from an LDAP Directory. Importing from an LDAP directory uses an import specification
file that defines the following:
• The information you want to extract from the directory.
• How to map that data to groups, resources, and attributes in the EPICenter Grouping module.
The specification file must be named
LDAPConfig.txt
, and must reside in the EPICenter
user/import
directory. See “Importing from an LDAP Directory” in Chapter 8 for details.
Importing from an NT Domain Controller or NIS Server. Importing from an NT Domain Controller
or NIS server is always done from the Domain Controller or NIS server that is serving the domain for
the system running the EPICenter server. The type of system you are running will determine where the
EPICenter server looks for the information. See “Importing from an NT Domain Controller or NIS
Server” in Chapter 8 for details.
The syntax of the ImportResources command is as follows:
ImportResources -user < EPICenter username > -s < source name >
[ -f < file name >| -ldap | -domain ]
The EPICenter user name and one of the import type options (
-f
,
-ldap
, or
-domain
) are required.
Table 20 specifies the options you can use with this command:
