account-related information. The group type represents LDAP group
entries that contain POSIX group-related information.
-h <hostname> Specifies the host name and optional port number (hostname:port) of
the LDAP directory server. This option overrides the server list specified
by the LDAP-UX configuration profile. This field supports specification of
IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. If you specify a port for an IPv6 address, you
must specify the IPv6 address in square-bracketed form. If you do not
specify the optional port, the port number defaults to 389 or 636 for SSL
connections (-Z ).
-p <port>
Specifies the port number of the LDAP directory server to contact. The
ldapugadd tool ignores this option if you specify the port number in the
<hostname> parameter as part of the -h option.
-D <DN> The ldapugmod tool searches for the named user or group using the search
rules defined by the service search descriptor in the LDAP-UX configuration
profile. You can use the -D option to specify the exact distinguished name
(DN) of the entry being modified. If you specify the -D option, you do not
need to specify the <uid_name> or <group_name> parameter.
-A <attrval>
Specifies an attribute and value to be added to an entry. The format of
<attrval> is “attribute=value”, where attribute is the name of
the attribute to add, and value is the specific instance of that attribute.
When working with multi-valued attributes, you can use the -A option to
add a new value for a multi-valued attribute, without removing already
existing values for that attribute. The use of the -A parameter interacts with
the optional <attr>=<value> parameters. You can specify the -A option
more than once per command line. The value portion of the <attrval>
may be an empty string.
For example, if an entry in an LDAP directory is as follows:
dn: uid=mLee,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com
cn: Mark Lee
cn: Michael Lee
uid: mLee
uidNumber: 2200
gidNumber: 212
homeDirectory: /home/mLee
loginShell: /usr/bin/ksh
gecos: Mark Lee,San Jose,+1 555-555-5555
Perform the following ldapugmod command for the user entry, mLee:
ldapugmod -t passwd -A "cn=Mackey Lee" mLee
The above command adds an instance of the cn attribute, cn=Mackey
Lee to the entry. The following is the result of the mLee entry:
dn: uid=mLee,ou=people,ou=IT,dc=example,dc=com
cn: Mark Lee
cn: Michael Lee
cn: Mackey Lee
uid: mLee
uidNumber: 2200
gidNumber: 212
homeDirectory: /home/mLee
loginShell: /usr/bin/ksh gecos: Mark Lee,San Jose, +1
555-555-5072
-R <attrval>
Specifies an attribute or specific values of an attribute to be removed from
the entry. The format of <attrval> is attribute=value, where attribute
is the name of the attribute to remove, and value is a specific instance of
that attribute if the attribute is multi-valued. The use of the -R option
