About Directory Bootstrapping in the Oracle Directory Integration and Provisioning Platform

In the Oracle Directory Integration and Provisioning platform, bootstrapping is handled by using the Directory Integration and Provisioning Assistant with the bootstrap option. The command is:

dipassistant bootstrap

For information about usage of the Directory Integration and Provisioning Assistant, enter:

dipassistant bootstrap -help

The Directory Integration and Provisioning Assistant enables you to bootstrap by using either a parameter file or a completely configured integration profile. As an example of the latter method, to bootstrap from an SunONE Directory Server, configure the default integration profile that is created as part of the installation. Specifically, in that profile, enter the appropriate connected directory information and mapping rules.

This chapter discusses both approaches.
