NAME

       ns-inactivate.pl - Directory Server perl script for inactivating entries.

SYNOPSIS

       ns-inactivate.pl  [-Z serverID] [-D rootdn] { -w password | -w - | -j filename } [-p port]
       [-h host] [-P protocol] -I DN

DESCRIPTION

       Inactivates, and consequently locks, an entry or group of entries.

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.

       -I DN  Specifies the entry DN or role DN to deactivate.

       -h host
              Host name of the Directory Server.

       -p port
              Port number of the Directory Server.

EXAMPLE

       ns-inactivate.pl  -Z instance2 -D 'cn=directory manager' -j /tmp/passwd.txt -P STARTTLS -I
       '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.
