to set up many Directory Servers. Many of the parameters can be the same, such as

ConfigDirectoryLdapURL, ones specific to the host, such as FullMachineName have to be unique.

For example:

setup-ds-admin.pl -s -f common.inf General.FullMachineName=ldap37.example.com

slapd.ServerIdentifier=ldap37

This command uses the common parameters specified in the com mon.inf file, but overrides

FullMachineName and ServerIdentifier with the command line arguments.

NOTE

The section names and parameter names used in the .inf files and on the command line

are case sensitive. Refer to T able 1.1, “setup-ds-admin Options” to check the correct

capitalization.

The .inf file has an additional option, ConfigFile which imports the contents of any LDIF file into

the Directory Server. This is an extremely useful tool for preconfiguring users, replication, and other

directory management entries. For more information on using the ConfigFile parameter to

configure the Directory Server, see Section 6.3.4, “Using the ConfigFile Parameter to Configure the

Directory Server”.
