ldapmodify
255
Option Description
-f
Option that specifies the file containing the LDIF
update statements used to define the directory
modifications. For example:
-f modify_statements
If this option is not supplied, the update
statements are read from
stdin
.
For information on supplying LDIF update
statements from the command-line, see the
"Creating Directory Entries" chapter in the
Directory Server Administrator's Guide
.
-g
Specifies that the password policy request
control not be sent with the bind request.
By default, the new LDAP password policy
request control is sent with bind requests.
The
ldapmodify
tool can parse and display
information from the response control if it is
returned by a server; that is, the tool will print
an appropriate error or warning message when
a server sends the password policy response
control with an appropriate value. The criticality
of the request control is set to
false
to ensure
that all LDAPv3 servers that do not understand
the control can ignore it. To suppress sending of
the request control with the bind request, include
-g
on the command-line.
-h
Specifies the name of the host on which the
server is running. For example:
-h cyclops
-p
Specifies the port number that the server uses.
For example:
-p 1049
The default is
389
. If
-Z
is used, the default is
636
.
-q
Causes each add to be performed silently
as opposed to being echoed to the screen
individually.
-w
Specifies the password associated with the
distinguished name specified in the
-D
option.
For example:
-w mypassword
