Command reference

Icon: reference The command reference topics describe the syntax and usage of the command-line utilities included with IBM® Security Directory Server.

Command-line utilities
After you install IBM Security Directory Server, you must create and configure a directory server instance. IBM Security Directory Server provides both server and client command-line utilities that you can use to accomplish these LDAP-based requirements.
Client utilities
The client utilities use the ldap_sasl_bind or ldap_sasl_bind_s API to initiate a bind. The behavior and usage of the client utilities varies based on the values that you provide.
Server utilities
Understand the behavior and usage of server utilities and the considerations for synchronizing the directory server instances.
Debugging levels
Use the debugging levels to identify an appropriate debug level to obtain debug trace for a directory server instance.
Synchronizing two-way cryptography between server instances
You must synchronize two-way cryptography between directory server instances to reduce the time that is required to encrypt and decrypt data during server communications.
Supported IANA character sets
Use the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) character sets to identify the text string that can be assigned to the charset tag.
ASCII characters from 33 to 126
Use the ASCII characters table to determine the characters to use for directory server instance encryption seed and encryption salt.
