idsdnpw

Description

The idsdnpw command sets or changes the administrator DN and password for a directory server instance. The command can be run only when the directory server instance is in stopped state. When an administrator specifies an administrator password and an administrator DN, which is optional, the command writes these values to the ibmslapd.conf file. If the administrator DN is not specified, it is set to cn=root by default.

Synopsis

idsdnpw [-I instancename [[-u user_DN] -p password] [-f config_file] [-d debug_level]
        [-b output_file] [-q] [-n]] | -v | -? 

Options

-b output_file

Specifies the full path of a file to redirect console output. If you use this parameter with the -q parameter, errors are sent to the output_file file. If debug mode is set, then the debug output is also sent to this file.

-d debug_level

Sets the LDAP debug level to debug_level. If you specify this parameter, it sends the debug output to stdout. The debug_level value is a bit mask that controls which output is generated with values from 1 to 65535. For more information about debug levels, see Debugging levels.

-f config_file

Specifies the full path to the configuration file to update with administration DN and password values. If this option is not specified, the default configuration file for the directory server instance is used.

-I instancename

Specifies the directory server instance name. This parameter is required if there are directory server instances on the system.

-n

Specifies to run in no prompt mode. All output from the command is generated, except for messages that require user interaction. This parameter must be used with the -p parameter.

-p password

Specifies to change the directory administrator password. If an administrator DN value is not specified by using the -u parameter, the current value of the administrator DN is used. If the administrator DN is not defined, then the default value, cn=root, is used. This parameter is required when the -n parameter is specified.

-q

Specifies to run in quiet mode. All output from the command is suppressed, except for error messages. If you also specify the -d parameter, then the trace output is not suppressed.

-u user_DN

Specifies to create or change the directory administrator distinguished name (DN).

-v

Specifies to show the version information of the command.

-?

Specifies to show the syntax format.
