To perform secure LDAP tools operations, refer to
“Ensuring Secure eDirectory Operations on
Linux, Solaris, AIX, and HP-UX Systems” on page 83
and include the DER file in all command line
LDAP operations that establish secure LDAP connections to eDirectory.
12.3.1 LDAP Tools
The LDAP utilities can be used to delete entries, modify entries, add entries, extend the schema,
modify relative distinguished names, move entries to new containers, create search indexes, or
perform searches.
ldapadd
The ldapadd utility adds new entries. It has the following syntax:
ldapadd [-c] [-C] [-l] [-M] [-P] [-r] [-n] [-v] [-F] [-l
limit
] [-M[M]]
[-d
debuglevel
] [-e
key filename
] [-D
binddn
] [[-W]| [-w
passwd
]] [-
h
ldaphost
] [-p
ldapport
] [-P
version
] [-Z[Z]] [-f
file
]
NOTE:
On a NetWare server, this utility is called ladd.
If the -f option is specified, ldapadd reads the modifications from a file. If the -f option is not
specified, ldapadd reads the modifications from stdin.
TIP:
Output from the ldap utilities is sent to stdout. If the utility exits before you can view the
output, redirect the output to a file, for example, ldapadd [options] >
out.txt
.
Common Options for All LDAP Tools
There are some options that are common to all ldap tools. These are listed in the following table:
Option
Description
-a
Adds new entries. The default for ldapmodify is to modify existing entries. If
invoked as ldapadd, this flag is always set.
-r
Replaces existing values by default.
-c
Continuous operation mode. Errors are reported, but ldapmodify will continue
with modifications. The default is to exit after reporting an error.
-f
file
Reads the entry modification information from an LDIF file instead of from
standard input. The maximum length of a record is 4096 lines.
-F
Forces the application of all changes regardless of the contents of input lines
that begin with replica:. (By default, replica: lines are compared against the
LDAP server host and port in use to decide if a replog record should actually
be applied.)
Option
Description
-C
Enables referral following. (anonymous bind)
-d
debuglevel
Sets the LDAP debugging level to debuglevel. The ldapmodify tool must be
compiled with LDAP_DEBUG defined for this option to have any effect.
