Specifies the password used for authenticating the administrator who is
connecting to the directory to perform changes. It is preferable not to use the -w
option in a multi-user environment. This is because the password will be
displayed in a listing of running processes. If you do not specify a bind DN and
password, this information is read from the configuration file. If you specify a
bind DN and not a password, you are prompted to provide one. These alternatives
are more secure than supplying a password on the command line with the -w
option.
