file with existing data into the Directory Server database. If the answer is yes, then supply a path
to the LDIF file or select the suggested file. If the LDIF file requires custom schema, perform a
silent setup instead, and use the SchemaFile directive in the .inf to specify additional schema
files. See Section 4.5.5.1, “.inf File Directives” for information on .inf directives.
The default option is none, which does not import any data.

program supplies a randomly generated one.

IP address.
