When you have finished using the Merge Configuration Directory utility, you can
safely remove your source configuration directory.
To Merge Configuration Data from Two Directory Servers
1.
In the navigation tree, select the server group containing the source
configuration directory.
2.
From the Object menu, choose Merge Configuration.
3.
In the Merge Configuration Directory Server Information window, enter
information about the configuration directory into which you want to merge
the source data:
Destination Domain. Enter the domain name for the configuration directory
that you want to merge into. Example:
example.com
Destination LDAP Host. Enter the hostname for the configuration directory
you specified above. Example:
eastcoast.example.com
Destination LDAP Port. Enter the port number for the existing configuration
directory. Example:
389
Secure Connection. Check this box if the configuration directory uses the
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol on the port specified above. Make sure
that SSL is enabled on the destination configuration directory before selecting
this option.
Destination LDAP Bind DN. Enter the distinguished name for a user who has
access to the destination configuration directory. Example:
cn=Barbara
Jones, ou=Administration, o=Example Corporation, c=US
.
Destination LDAP Bind Password. Enter the password for the user specified
by the Destination LDAP Bind DN.
After you merge the configuration directories, the affected server instances will use
the destination directory you specified. If you want the instances to switch back to
the original configuration directory, you must manually modify the local
configuration files. See “Changing the Host or Port Number” on page 126 for more
information.
CAUTION Do not remove your source configuration directory until you have
merged all data to the destination. Once you remove the source
directory, all its data will be lost.
