Populating the Directory Server With Additional Profiles

Use the ldapclient command with the genprofile option to create an LDIF (LDAP Data Interchange Format) representation of a configuration profile, based on the attributes specified. The profile you create can then be loaded into an LDAP server to be used as the client profile. The client profile can be downloaded by the client by using ldapclient init.

Refer to ldapclient (1M) for information about using ldapclient genprofile.
