9.4.4.2 ldapmodify options
This section lists the most commonly used.ldapmodify options. For more information, see the
HP-UX Directory Server configuration, command, and file reference.

update statement. This provides a simplified method of adding entries to the directory.
-B Specifies the suffix under which the new entries will be added.
-D Specifies the distinguished name (DN) with which to authenticate to the server. If specified,
this value must be a DN recognized by the directory server, and it must also have the authority
to search for the entries.
-f This option specifies the file containing the LDIF update statements used to define the directory
modification. If you do not supply this option, the update statements are read from stdin.
-h Specifies the host name or IP address of the directory server. If not specified, ldapmodify
uses the local host.
-p Specifies the TCP port number that the directory server uses. The default is 389.
-q Causes each add to be performed silently as opposed to being echoed to the screen
individually.
-w Specifies the password associated with the distinguished name that is specified in the -D
option.
