NAME
       ldif2db.pl - Directory Server perl script for importing a LDIF file


SYNOPSIS
       ldif2db.pl  -n  backend  [-Z serverID] [-D rootdn] { -w password | -w - | -j filename } [-P protocol] {-s
       includeSuffix}* [{-x excludeSuffix}*] [-O] [-c chunksize] [-v] [-h] [-g [string]] [-G  namespace_id]  {-i
       filename}*


DESCRIPTION
       Imports  LDIF  file(s) into the server. Either the option '-n' or '-s' must be used.  This script creates
       an entry in the directory that launches this dynamic task.


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.

       -n Backend Name
              The name of the LDBM database to restore.  Example: userRoot

       -s includeSuffix
              Specifies the suffixes to be included or specifies the subtrees to be included.

       -x excludeSuffix
              Specifies the suffixes to be excluded or specifies the subtrees to be excluded.

       -i filename
              Name for the LDIF file to import.

       -g [string]
              Generates a unique ID. Type none for no unique ID  to  be  generated  and  deterministic  for  the
              generated unique ID to be name-based. By default, a time-based unique ID is generated.  When using
              the deterministic generation to have a name-based unique ID, it is also possible  to  specify  the
              namespace for the server to use, as follows:

              -g deterministic namespaceId

              namespaceId is a string of characters in the format 00-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx.

       -G namespace_id
              Generates  a  namespace  ID  as  a  name-based  unique  ID.  This is the same as specifying the -g
              deterministic option.

       -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.

       -O
              Requests that only the core database is created without attribute indexes.

       -c Chunk size
              The number of entries to process before starting a fresh pass during the import.  By default  this
              is handled internally by the server.

       -v
              Display verbose output

       -h
              Display usage


EXAMPLE
       ldif2db.pl -Z instance1 -n userRoot -i /LDAP/ldif/data.ldif

       ldif2db.pl  -s  "dc=example,dc=com"  -i  /LDAP/ldif/data.ldif  -D  'cn=directory manager' -w password  -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.
