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

Option Description
configuration directory that contains the
configuration information for the import
process. This must be the fulle path to the
configuration directory,
/etc/dirsrv/slapd-instance_name.
-E Decrypts an encrypted database during
export. This option is used only if database
encryption is enabled.
-g string
Generates a unique ID. Type none for no
unique ID to be generated and
deterministic for the generated unique ID
to be name-based. By default, a time-based
unique ID is generated.
When using the deterministic generation to
have a name-based unique ID, it is also
possible to specify the namespace for the
server to use, as follows:
-g deterministic namespaceId
namespaceId is a string of characters in the
format
00-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx.
Use this option to import the same LDIF file
into two different Directory Servers and the
contents of both directories should have the
same set of unique IDs. If unique IDs already
exist in the LDIF file being imported, then the
existing IDs are imported to the server,
regardless of the options specified.
-i ldifFile Specifies the LDIF file to be imported. This
option is required. There can be multiple -i
arguments to import more than one LDIF file
at a time. When importing multiple files, the
server imports the LDIF files in the order they
are specified on the command line.
-n backendInstance Specifies the name of the backend to be
imported.
-O Specifies that no attribute indexes are created
for the imported database. If this option is
specified and the indexes need to be restored
