4.5.4. Using the ConfigFile Parameter to Configure the Directory Server
The ConfigFile parameter in the .inf is an extremely useful tool to configure the directory from the
time it is set up. The ConfigFile parameter specified an LDIF file to import into the directory. Since the
ConfigFile parameter can be used multiple times, it is a good idea to have multiple LDIF files so that
the individual entries are easy to manage.
The ConfigFile parameter is set in the [slapd] section of the .inf.
For example, to configure a new Directory Server instance as a supplier in replication, ConfigFile can
be used to create the replication manager, replica, and replication agreement entries:
[slapd]
...
ConfigFile = repluser.ldif
ConfigFile = changelog.ldif
ConfigFile = replica.ldif
ConfigFile = replagreem ent.ldif
...
The LDIF file contains the entry information. For example, the replica.ldif contains the information
to configure the new Directory Server instance as a supplier:
