Instead of restoring to a server that is an Open Directory master, you can restore to a
standalone server. This server becomes an Open Directory master with directory and
authentication data from the archive.
The restored data includes the LDAP, Kerberos, and password server les listed above,
plus the local directory domain and associated shadow password les.
In addition, slapconfig preserves the local user account you used in the login
window. After restoring, the master contains the user account records from the archive
plus the account you used in the login window.
If the archive contains a user account that conicts with the account you used in the
login window, the account from the archive is ignored.
WARNING: If you restore a standalone server, the existing directory records and
authentication data are not retained, except for the user account you used in the
login window.
To replace the directory and authentication data on a standalone server with data m

$ sudo slapconfig -restoredb archive-path
Parameter Description
