Red Hat Directory Server 8.0 Configuration, Command, and File Reference

Option Description
false to ensure that all LDAPv3 servers that
do not understand the control can ignore it. To
suppress sending of the request control with
the bind request, include -g on the
command-line.
-h Specifies the name of the host on which the
server is running. For example:
-h cyclops
-p Specifies the port number that the server
uses. For example:
-p 1049
The default is 389. If -Z is used, the default is
636.
-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 specified in the -D option.
For example:
-w mypassword
If a dash (-) is used as the password value,
the utility prompts for the password after the
command is entered. This avoids having the
password on the command line.
Table 6.10. Commonly-Used ldapmodify Options
SSL Options.
Use the following command-line options to specify that ldapmodify is to use LDAP over SSL
(LDAPS) when communicating with the Directory Server. LDAPS encrypts data during transit.
Also, use these options for certificate-based authentication. These options are valid only when
SSL has been turned on and configured for the Directory Server. For more information on
certificate-based authentication and on creating a certificate database for use with LDAP clients,
see the "Managing SSL" chapter in the Directory Server Administrator's Guide.
Ensure that the Directory Server's encrypted port is specified when using these options.
