server; if you want to change either of these values, you must delete the existing configuration
entry and add a new entry with the desired domain name and priority.
• attributesis a comma-separated list of attributes that you want to change. Each attribute
is expressed as a keyword followed by one or more blanks and, optionally, a value. If you
need to include a comma or a trailing blank within an attribute value, enclose the attribute
value in double quotation marks. An attribute embedded within a text field is permissible.
If you supply an attribute name with an attribute value, the specified value is assigned to
the attribute.
If you supply an attribute name with no corresponding attribute value, the command prompts
for a value and, except in the case of a password, echoes the text you supply.
If you specify an attribute and value more than once, the last instance applies.
If you omit an attribute (excluding its name from the command line), the configuration
record retains its previous value for that attribute.
If you include an attribute and the word default (upper or lowercase) instead of a value,
the LDAP daemon uses the value defined for that attribute in the default configuration. This
substitution occurs at runtime, so any changes in the default configuration record affect all
server configurations that depend on default values.
NOTE: If you use the ALTER SERVER command to modify the default configuration record
and, in that command, specify the word default as the value of an attribute, the attribute
is reassigned the initial value for that attribute, as indicated in “Attributes of Directory Server
Configurations” (page 78).
The command fails and an error is returned if
• You are not logged on in the role ROLE.SECMGR.
• You omit domainName or UsagePri.
• No existing configuration entry matches the domainName and UsagePri you supply.
• The command line is syntactically incorrect.
• An attribute value is invalid.
If the command completes successfully, the following message is displayed:
Server configuration altered.
Examples
The following command changes the configuration entry for a directory server called
NeoviewDirectoryServer, with a priority of 9. The command changes the existing host name to
www.glomit.org.
.sec alter server NeoviewDirectoryServer 9,host www.glomit.org
The following command changes two attributes of the default configuration entry, which always
has the domain name default and a usage priority of 0. It specifies a new value of the
SearchUserDN and causes NCI to prompt for a SearchUserPwd . All other attributes of the
default configuration remain as they were before this command.
.sec alter server default 0, SearchUserDN
“uid=searcher,OU=FunctionalUsers,O=REScorp.com”,SearchUserPwd
Removing a Directory Server Configuration
The Security Manager can select a server in HPDM Directory Servers display and use the Delete
button to remove the configuration entry for an external directory server. Alternatively, he or
she can use the NCI DROP SERVER command, specifying the domain name and usage priority
of the server.
