Modifying Entries Using ldapmodify
Here is a typical example of how to use the
ldapmodify
utility to modify entries
that are present in the directory. Suppose that:
• You want to modify entries as specified in the file
modify_statements
.
• You have created a database administrator that has the authority to modify the
entries, and whose distinguished name is
cn=Directory Manager,
dc=example,dc=com
• The database administrator’s password is
King-Pin
.
• The server is located on
cyclops
.
• The server uses port number
845
.
To modify the entries, you must first create the
modify_statements
file with the
appropriate LDIF update statements, and then enter the following command:
ldapmodify -D "cn=Directory Manager,dc=example,dc=com" -w King-Pin
-h cyclops -p 845 -f modify_statements
The following table describes the
ldapmodify
parameters used in the example:
-f
Optional parameter that specifies the file containing the LDIF
update statements used to define the modifications. If you do
not supply this parameter, the update statements are read
from
stdin
. For information on supplying LDIF update
statements from the command line, refer to “Providing Input
From the Command Line,” on page 55
