Using dsconfig in Interactive Mode

Unless you specify all configuration parameters and the -n (--no-prompt) option, dsconfig runs in interactive mode. Interactive mode functions like a wizard, walking you through all aspects of the server configuration. interactive mode is a good approach to start using dsconfig.

When you run dsconfig in interactive mode, you can specify that you want the equivalent command (including all your selections) to be displayed, or to be written to a file. The following example shows how to use the --displayCommand option to display the equivalent non-interactive command when configuring the trust manager. Note that the equivalent command is displayed at the point at which the command has been applied and validated by the directory server.

$ dsconfig -D "cn=directory manager" -w password --displayCommand
...
The TrustStore Manager Provider was modified successfully

The equivalent non-interactive command-line is:
dsconfig --hostname "localhost" --port "4444" --bindDN "cn=directory
manager" --bindPassword ****** --trustAll
set-trust-manager-provider-prop --provider-name "PKCS12" --set
"enabled:true"

To copy the equivalent command to a file, use the --commandFilePath option, as shown in the following example:

$ dsconfig -D "cn=directory manager" -w password --commandFilePath /tmp/filename
