--help

Displays help information for a command or subcommand.

-c
--accept-cert

Does not ask for confirmation before accepting non-trusted server certificates.

-D USER_DN
--user-dn USER_DN

Binds as USER_DN. dsconf searches for a USER_DN value in the following order: First a a USER_DN specified in the command line, then a USER_DN set by using the environment variable $LDAP_ADMIN_USER. If none of these are found, the default is to bind as the user cn=Directory Manager.

-e
--unsecured

Connects over LDAP with no secure connection. To connect over a clear connection by default, set the DIRSERV_UNSECURED environment variable.

-h HOST
--hostname HOST

Connects to the directory on HOST. dsconf contacts the LDAP server on the specified host, which may be a host name or an IP address. dsconf searches for a HOST value in the following order: First a HOST specified on the command line, then a HOST set by using the environment variable $DIRSERV_HOST. If none of these are found, the default is to use the local host.

For example, when mapping the IPv4 address 192.168.0.99 to IPv6, specify the HOST:PORT as follows: ::ffff:192.168.0.99.

This option is mutually exclusive with -P,--secure-port.

-P PORT
--secure-port PORT

Connects over SSL to the directory on PORT. The dpconf command searches for a PORT value in the following order:

• A PORT specified in the command line

• A PORT set by using the $DIR_SERV_PORT environment variable

If none of these are found, the default is to use port 636.

This option is mutually exclusive with -p,--port.

-v
--verbose

Displays extra information.

-V --version

Displays the current version of dsconf. The version is provided in the format year.monthday.time. So version number 2007.1204.0035 was built on December 4th, 2007 at 00h35. If the components used by dsconf are not aligned, the version of each individual component is displayed.

-w FILE
--pwd-file FILE

Binds using an LDAP password is read from FILE. dsconf searches for a password FILE value in the following order: A password or password file specified in the command line. A password file set by using the environment variable $LDAP_ADMIN_PWF. If none of these are found, the default is to prompt for the password.

-y
--decrypt-attr

Decrypts encrypted attributes. The --decrypt-attr option is a boolean and is optional.

SUBCOMMAND OPTIONS

The following options are applicable to the subcommands where they are specified.

-A PROTOCOL
--auth-protocol PROTOCOL

Sets authentication protocol for replication agreements to PROTOCOL. For the create-repl-dest subcommand, the default value is clear. Other possible values are ssl-simple and ssl-client.

Import flags:

chunk-size=INTEGER

Sets the merge chunk size. Overrides the detection of when to start a new pass during import.

incremental-output

Specifies whether an output file will be generated for later use in importing to large replicated suffixes. Default is yes. Possible values are yes and no. This flag can only be used when the -K option is used. If this flag is not used, an output file will automatically be generated.

incremental-output-file=PATH

Sets the path of the generated output file for an incremental (appended) import. The output file is used for updating a replication topology. It is an LDIF file containing the difference between the replicated suffix and the LDIF file, and replication information.

SYNTAX VALUES

Syntax values shown in lower case or partly in lower case are literal values.

Those shown in upper case are syntax types, defined as follows:

ATTR_NAME

A valid attribute type name such as cn or objectClass.

DN

A valid distinguished name such as ou=People,dc=example,dc=com.

DURATION

A duration specified in months (M), weeks (w), days (d), hours (h), minutes (m), seconds (s), and miliseconds (ms), or some combination with multiple specifiers. For example, you can specify one week as 1w, 7d, 168h, 10080m, or 604800s. You can also specify one week as 1w0d0h0m0s.

DURATION properties typically do not each support all duration specifiers (Mwdhms). Examine the output of dsconf help-properties for the property to determine which duration specifiers are supported.

INTEGER

A positive integer value between 0 and the maximum supported integer value in the system address space. On 32-bit systems, 2147483647. On 64-bit systems, 9223372036854775807.

INTERVAL

An interval value of the form hhmm-hhmm 0123456, where the first element specifies the starting hour, the next element the finishing hour in 24-hour time format, from 0000-2359, and the second specifies days, starting with Sunday (0) to Saturday (6).

LDAP_URL

A valid LDAP URL as specified by RFC 2255.

MEMORY_SIZE

A memory size specified in gigabytes (G), megabytes (M),kilobytes (k), or bytes (b). Unlike DURATION properties, MEMORY_SIZE properties cannot combine multiple specifiers. However, MEMORY_SIZE properties allow decimal values, for example, 1.5M.

OCTAL_MODE

A three-digit, octal file permissions specifier. The first digit specifies permissions for the server user ID, the second for the server group ID, the last for other users. Each digit consists of a bitmask defining read (4), write (2), execute (1), or no access (0) permissions, thus 640 specifies read-write access for the server user, read-only access for other users of the server group, and no access for other users.

PATH

A valid, absolute file system path.

STRING

A DirectoryString value, as specified by RFC 2252.

TIME

A time of the form hhmm in 24-hour format, where hh stands for hours and mm stands for minutes.

EXIT STATUS

The following exit status values are returned:

0

Successful completion.

non-zero

An error occurred.

Examples

The following examples show how the dsconf command is used.

---

Example 1 Create a Suffix




$ dsconf create-suffix -h host -p port dc=example,dc=com

In this example, non-default ports are specified.

Check to see if the suffix has been created.

$ dsconf list-suffixes -h host -p port -v

---

---

Example 2 Import LDIF Data into the Suffix




$ dsconf import -h host -p port /opt/SUNWdsee7/resources/ldif/example.ldif dc=example,dc=com

---

---

Example 3 Index an Attribute




In this example, the preferredLanguage attribute is going to be indexed.

1. Create an index entry for the attribute. By default, the index matching types are equity and presence.

   $ dsconf create-index -h host -p port dc=example,dc=com preferredLanguage

2. Check that the index entry has been created

   $ dsconf get-index-prop -h host -p port dc=example,dc=com preferredLanguage

3. Generate the index for the attribute.

   $ dsconf reindex -h host -p port -t preferredLanguage dc=example,dc=com

---

---

Example 4 Back Up the Directory Server Data




$ dsconf backup -h host -p port /tmp/backupArchiveDir

For complete backup procedures, see the Sun Directory Server Enterprise Edition 7.0 Administration Guide.

---

---

Example 5 Monitor and Change Cache Size for a Suffix




1. Search for the string cache within the dsconf help properties:

   $ dsconf help-properties | grep cache

2. Determine which property is most applicable and request more information. In the results of the preceding step, cache-mem-size seems to correspond. For additional information, use the verbose option:

   $ dsconf help-properties -v | grep entry-cache-size SUF entry-cache-size rw MEMORY_SIZE (Ex: 3G,2m,200k,10000b) nsslapd-cachememsize Cache size in term of memory space: (Default: 10M)

   Use the following information to interpret the results above:

   SUF

   This property applies to a suffix.

   entry-cache-size

   The name of the property

   rw

   You have read and write access to the property when using get-suffix-prop and set-suffix-prop.

   MEMORY_SIZE

   Use memory size values as described in this man page.

   nsslapd-cachememsize

   The attribute under cn=config to which this property applies.

   (Default: 10M)

   The default value of this property

3. Determine the current value of entry-cache-size:

   $ dsconf get-suffix-prop -h host -p port dc=example,dc=com entry-cache-size entry-cache-size : 10M

4. Change the value of entry-cache-size to 12M:

   $ dsconf set-suffix-prop -h host -p port dc=example,dc=com entry-cache-size:12M

5. Check that the value has been changed:

   $ dsconf get-suffix-prop -h host -p port dc=example,dc=com entry-cache-size entry-cache-size : 12M

---

---

Example 6 Export to LDIF While Using Filters




$ dsconf export -h host -p port -f not-print-entry-ids -s ou=people,dc=example,dc=com -s ou=contractors,dc=example,dc=com dc=example,dc=com instance-path/ldif/export.ldif

This example shows a command that:

• Uses the flag not-print-entry-ids to request that entry IDs are not exported.

• Exports data from two suffixes ou=people,dc=example,dc=com and ou=contractors,dc=example,dc=com into one LDIF file instance-path/ldif/export.ldif.

---

---

Example 7 Rotate the Access Log and Modify the Rotation Delay for the Access Log




If you have a log which is getting very large, you can rotate the log. Rotation backs up the existing log file and creates a fresh log file. In this example, the access log is rotated.

1. Rotate the access log by using the command:

   $ dsconf rotate-log-now -h host -p port access

2. You can now modify the delay between log rotations for the access log.

   Find the property which sets maximum log size:

   $ dsconf help-properties -v | grep LOG

   The output from the previous command shows that the required property is rotation-interval.

3. To see the default setting for rotation-interval:

   $ dsconf get-log-prop -h host -p port access rotation-interval

   The default is one day 1d.

4. To increase the rotation delay to two days, use the command:

   $ dsconf set-log-prop -h host -p port access rotation-interval:2d

---

---

Example 8 Configure Replication in a Two-Master Topology




This procedure configures replication on a topology with two severs, and both are masters. Replication is configured first on one master, then on the second master. Master 1 is located on server1.example:1389. Master 2 is located on server2.example:2389.

1. On server 1: Create a suffix

   $ dsconf create-suffix -h server1.example -p 1389 dc=example,dc=com

2. On Server 1: Populate the suffix with LDIF data

   $ dsconf import -a -h server1.example -p 1389 /opt/SUNWdsee7/resources/ldif/Example.ldif dc=example,dc=com

   If the import takes a long time, you can obtain status on the import operation using:

   $ dsconf info -h server1.example -p 1389

   or

   $ dsconf show-task-status -h server1.example -p 1389 -v

   Alternatively, you can view the status of the task while it is running by omitting the -a option in the command.

3. On Server 1: Enable replication on Master 1. This step assigns a replication role and ID to an existing suffix. It also sets the replication manager bind DN to the default replication manager DN.

   $ dsconf enable-repl -h server1.example -p 1389 -d 1 master dc=example,dc=com

4. On server 2: Create a suffix

   $ dsconf create-suffix -h server2.example -p 2389 dc=example,dc=com

5. On Server 2: Enable replication on Master 2. This step assigns a replication role and ID to an existing suffix. It also sets the replication manager bind DN to the default replication manager DN.

   $ dsconf enable-repl -h server2.example -p 2389 -d 2 master dc=example,dc=com

6. On Server 1: Create a replication agreement from Master 1 to Master 2.

   $ dsconf create-repl-agmt -h server1.example -p 1389 dc=example,dc=com server2.example:2389

7. On Server 2: Create a replication agreement from Master 2 to Master 1

   $ dsconf create-repl-agmt -h server2.example -p 2389 dc=example,dc=com server1.example:1389

8. On Server 1: Check that the replication agreement status is OK.

   $ dsconf show-repl-agmt-status -h server1.example -p 1389 dc=example,dc=com server2.example:2389

   If the status is not OK, then accord the replication agreement.

   $ dsconf accord-repl-agmt -h server1.example -p 1389 dc=example,dc=com server2.example:2389

9. On Server 1: From Master 1, initialize replication on Master 2. This step initializes Master 2 with the data contained in the suffix on Master 1 and starts replication.

   $ dsconf init-repl-dest -h server1.example -p 1389 dc=example,dc=com server2.example:2389

The replication agreements in both directions are now active and replication is running.
