Example 1. Example Command
All of the tools for Red Hat Directory Server are located in the
/usr/bin
directory. These tools can be
run from any location without specifying the tool location.
There is another important consideration with the Red Hat Directory Server tools. The LDAP tools
referenced in this guide are Mozilla LDAP, installed with Red Hat Directory Server in the
/usr/lib/
mozldap
directory on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (32-bit).
However, Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems also include LDAP tools from OpenLDAP in the
/usr/
bin
directory. It is possible to use the OpenLDAP commands as shown in the examples, but you must
use the
-x
argument to disable SASL, which OpenLDAP tools use by default.
Certain words are represented in different fonts, styles, and weights. Different character formatting is
used to indicate the function or purpose of the phrase being highlighted.
Formatting Style
Purpose
Monospace font
Monospace is used for commands, package names, files and
directory paths, and any text displayed in a prompt.
Monospace
with a
background
This type of formatting is used for anything entered or returned
in a command prompt.
Italicized text
Any text which is italicized is a variable, such as
instance_name
or
hostname
. Occasionally, this is also used to
emphasize a new term or other phrase.
Bolded text
Most phrases which are in bold are application names, such as
Cygwin
, or are fields or options in a user interface, such as a
User Name Here:
field or
Save
button.
Other formatting styles draw attention to important text.
NOTE
A note provides additional information that can help illustrate the behavior of the system or
provide more detail for a specific issue.
IMPORTANT
Important information is necessary, but possibly unexpected, such as a configuration
change that will not persist after a reboot.
WARNING
A warning indicates potential data loss, as may happen when tuning hardware for
maximum performance.
