NAME

       ns-newpwpolicy.pl - Directory Server perl script for preparing new password policies.

SYNOPSIS

       ns-newpwpolicy.pl  [-Z  serverID]  [-v] [-D rootdn] { -w password | -j filename } [-P protocol] [-p port]
       [-h host] -U UserDN -S SuffixDN

DESCRIPTION

       Adds entries required for implementing the user- and subtree-level password policy.

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.

       -w -
              Prompt for the rootdn password.

       -j password filename
              The name of the file that contains the root DN password.

       -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 host
              Host name of the Directory Server.

       -p port
              Port number of the Directory Server.

       -U userDN
              Specifies the DN of the user entry that needs  to  be  updated  with  user-level  password  policy
              attributes.

       -S suffixDN
              Specifies  the  DN of the suffix entry that needs to be updated with subtree-level password policy
              attributes.

       -v
              Display verbose output

EXAMPLE

       ns-newpwpolicy.pl -Z instance3 -D 'cn=directory manager' -w password -P STARTTLS -U
       'uid=user,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com'

              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.
