locate the file.
Browse is not enabled if the Console is running on a remote server. When the Browse
button is not enabled, the file is stored in the default directory,
/var/opt/dirsrv/slapd-instance_name/ldif. (For a list of Directory Server file
locations, see “Directory Server file locations”.)
3. If the Console is running on a machine remote to the server, two radio buttons are displayed
beneath the LDIF File field.
• Select To local machine to export the data to an LDIF file on the machine from which
the Console is running.
• Select To server machine to export to an LDIF file located on the server's machine.
4. To export the whole directory, select the Entire database radio button.
To export only a single subtree of the suffix contained by the database, select the Subtree
radio button, then enter the name of the suffix in the Subtree text box. This option exports
a subtree that is contained by more than one database.
Alternatively, click Browse to select a suffix or subtree.
