NAME

       ldif2ldap - Directory Server script for adding entries

SYNOPSIS

       ldif2ldap [-Z serverID] [-D <rootdn>] -w <password> -f <ldifFile> [-P protocol] [-h]

DESCRIPTION

       Performs  an  import  operation over LDAP to the Directory Server. To run this script, the server must be
       running.

OPTIONS

       A summary of options is included below:

       -Z Server Identifier
              The server ID of the Directory Server instance.  If there is only one instance on the system, this
              option can be skipped.

       -D Root DN
              The Directory Manager DN, or root DN.  If  not  specified,  the  script  will  search  the  server
              instance configuration for the value.

       -w password
              The rootdn password.

       -f LDIF file
              The LDIF file with the entries to add.

       -P Protocol
              The connection protocol to connect to the Directory Server.  Protocols are STARTTLS, LDAPS, LDAPI,
              and  LDAP.   If  this  option is skipped, the most secure protocol that is available is used.  For
              LDAPI, AUTOBIND is also available for the root user.

       -h
              Display the usage.

EXAMPLE

       ldif2ldap -Z instance3 -D 'cn=directory manager' -w password -f /LDAP/ldif/entries.ldif -P STARTTLS

       Note: security must be enabled to use protocol STARTTLS.  If STARTTLS is not available it will default to
       next strongest/available protocol automatically.

DIAGNOSTICS

       Exit status is zero if no errors occur.  Errors result in a non-zero exit status and a diagnostic message
       being written to standard error.
