amadmin Options

Following are definitions of the amadmin command line parameter options:

--runasdn (-u)

--runasdn is used to authenticate the user to the LDAP server. The argument is a value equal to that of the Distinguished Name (DN) of the user authorized to run amadmin; for example

--runasdn uid=amAdmin,ou=People,o=example.com,o=isp .

The DN can also be formatted by inserting spaces between the domain components and double quoting the entire DN such as: --runasdn "uid=amAdmin, ou=People, o=iplanet.com, o=isp".

--password (-w)

--password is a mandatory option and takes a value equal to that of the password of the DN specified with the --runasdn option.

--locale (-l)

--locale is an option that takes a value equal to that of the name of the locale. This option can be used for the customization of the message language. If not provided, the default locale, en_US, is used.

--continue (-c)

--continue is an option that will continue to process the next request within an XML file even if there are errors. For example, if a request within an XML file fails, then amadmin will continue to the next request in the same XML file. When all operations in the first XML file are completed, amadmin will continue to the second XML file.

--session (-m)

--session (-m) is an option to manage the sessions, or to display the current sessions. When specifying --runasdn , it must be the same as the DN for the super user in AMConfig.properties , or just ID for the top-level admin user.

The following example will display all sessions for a particular service host name,:

amadmin -u uid=amadmin,ou=people,dc=iplanet,dc=com 
-v  -w 12345678 -m http://sun.com:58080

The following example will display a particular user’s session:

amadmin -u uid=amadmin,ou=people,dc=iplanet,dc=com -v 
 -w 12345678 -m http://sun.com:58080 username

You can terminate a session by entering the corresponding index number, or enter multiple index numbers (with spaces) to terminate multiple sessions.

While using the following option:

amadmin -m | --session servername pattern

The pattern may be a wildcard (*). If this pattern is using a wildcard (*), it has to be escaped with a meta character (\\) from the shell.

--debug (-d)

--debug is an option that will write messages to the amAdmin file created under the /var/opt/SUNWam/debug directory. These messages are technically-detailed but not i18n-compliant. To generate amadmin operation logs, when logging to database, the classpath for the database driver needs to be added manually. For example, add the following lines when logging to mysql in amadmin:

CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/opt/IS61/SUNWam/lib/mysql-connector-java-3.0.6-stable-bin.jar
export CLASSPATH

--verbose (-v)

--verbose is an option that prints to the screen the overall progress of the amadmin command. It does not print to a file the detailed information. Messages output to the command line are i18n- compliant.

--data (-t)

--data is an option that takes as its value the name of the batch processing XML file being imported. One or more XML files can be specified. This XML file can create, delete and read various directory objects as well as register and unregister services. .

--schema (-s)

--schema is an option that loads the attributes of an OpenSSO Enterprise service into the Directory Server. It takes as an argument an XML service file in which the service attributes are defined. This XML service file is based on the sms.dtd . One or more XML files can be specified.

Either the --data or --schema option must be specified, depending on whether configuring batch updates to the DIT, or loading service schema and configuration data.

--addattributes (-a)

Adds a new attribute to the specified serviceName and schemaType(global, dynamic, organization, or user). The attribute schema being added is defined in the XML file.

--deleteservice (-r)

--deleteservice is an option for deleting a service and its schema only.

--serviceName

--serviceName is an option that takes a value equal to the service name which is defined under the Service name=... tag of an XML service file. This portion is displayed in -–servicename.

Example 2–1 Portion of sampleMailService.xml

...
<ServicesConfiguration>
    <Service name="sampleMailService" version="1.0">
        <Schema
 serviceHierarchy="/other.configuration/sampleMailService"
            i18nFileName="sampleMailService"
            i18nKey="iplanet-am-sample-mail-service-description">
...

                  

--help (-h)

--help is an argument that displays the syntax for the amadmin command.

--version (-n)

--version is an argument that displays the utility name, product name, product version and legal notice.
