Importing from a File. To import data from a text file, you define the resources you want to import in
a tab-delimited text file. See “Importing from a File” in Chapter 8 of the Ridgeline Reference Guide for
details.
Importing from an LDAP Directory. Importing from an LDAP directory uses an import specification
file that defines the following:
● The information you want to extract from the directory.
● How to map that data to groups, resources, and attributes in the Ridgeline Grouping module.
The specification file must be named
LDAPConfig.txt, and must reside in the Ridgeline
user.war/import directory. See “Importing from an LDAP Directory” in Chapter 8 of the Ridgeline
Reference Guide for details.
Importing from an Windows Domain Controller or NIS Server. Importing from an Windows
Domain Controller or NIS server is always done from the Domain Controller or NIS server that is
serving the domain for the system running the Ridgeline server. The type of system you are running
will determine where the Ridgeline server looks for the information. See “Importing from an Windows
Domain Controller or NIS Server” in Chapter 8 of the Ridgeline Reference Guide for details.
The syntax of the ImportResources command is as follows:
ImportResources -user <Ridgeline username> -s <source name>
