Description 

Administration commands that must be run directly on the local host. For example:

• Starting and stopping the server

• Creating a server instance

Administration commands that can be run from a remote host. For example:

• Enabling replication

• Setting cache size

Notes 

The server must be stopped (except for the dsadm stop and dsadm info commands).

The server is identified by the server instance path (instance-path).

You must have OS access permissions to the server instance path. 

The server must be running.  

The server is identified by host name (-h) port (-p) or LDAPS secure port (-P).

If you do not specify a port number, dsconf uses the default port (389 for LDAP).

You must have LDAP access permissions to configuration data, for example, as the user cn=admin,cn=Administrators,cn=config.
