Commonly-Used ldapmodify Options
Option Description
-a
Adds LDIF entries to the directory without
requiring the
changetype:add
LDIF update
statement. This provides a simplified method
of adding entries to the directory. This option
also allows directly adding a file created by
ldapmodify
.
-B
Specifies the suffix under which the new entries
will be added.
-D
Specifies the distinguished name with which to
authenticate to the server. The value must be
a DN recognized by the Directory Server, and
it must also have the authority to modify the
entries. For example:
-D "uid=bjensen, dc=example,dc=com"
This option cannot be used with the
-N
option.
