-p port Specifies the integer port number of the LDAP server specified by
server_name . The default is 389. For secure operations, the default port is
636.
-d DN Specifies the distinguished name of the entry that should be used when
binding to the server-specified bind operation.
-w password Specifies the password attribute of the entry specified by DN .
-W Prompts for the password of the entry specified by DN .
This option is applicable only for Linux, Solaris, and AIX.
-B Use this option if you do not want to use asynchronous LDAP Bulk Update/
Replication Protocol (LBURP) requests for transferring update operations to
the server. Instead, use standard synchronous LDAP update operation
requests.
For more information, see “LDAP Bulk Update/Replication Protocol” on
page 179 .
-F Allows the creation of forward references. When an entry is going to be
created before its parent exists, a placeholder called a
forward reference
is
created for the entry’s parent to allow the entry to be successfully created. If a
later operation creates the parent, the forward reference is changed into a
normal entry.
-l Stores password values using the simple password method of the Novell
Modular Authentication Service (NMAS
TM ). Passwords are kept in a secure
location in the directory, but key pairs are not generated until they are actually
needed for authentication between servers.
-e value Specifies which debugging flags should be enabled in the LDAP client SDK.
For more information, see “ Using LDAP SDK Debugging Flags ”.
-V version Specifies the LDAP protocol version to be used for the connection. It must be
2 or 3. If this option is omitted, the default is 3.
-L filename Specifies a file in DER format containing a server key used for SSL
authentication. Filename is optional on Linux with default value
/etc/opt/
novell/certs/SSCert.der
.
-k This option is no longer supported. (To use SSL, specify a valid certificate
using the -L option.)
-M Enables the Manage DSA IT control.
-MM Enables the Manage DSA IT control, and makes it critical.
-P Enables concurrent LBURP processing. This option is enabled only if all the
operations in the LDIF are add. When you use the -F option, -P is enabled by
default.
-Z Specifies the number of asynchronous requests. This indicates the number of
entries the ICE client can send to the LDAP server asynchronously before
waiting for any result back from the server.
