Table 1. Global Keywords
Keyword Optional Short Version Usage
--user -u The user name to connect to the repository server. The value should include a prefix denoting the security provider if the user is not from the native provider. The following prefix values are valid:
  • Native for the native local security provider inherent to the system. This is the default provider.
  • AD_<name> for Active Directory, where <name> corresponds to the security provider name within the system
  • ADL_<name> for Active Directory with local override, where <name> corresponds to the security provider name within the system
  • ldap_<name> for OpenLDAP, where<name> corresponds to the security provider name within the system
Follow the prefix with a slash and the user name. For Active Directory providers, include the domain in the prefix. For example, for the user icrod in the MYDOMAIN domain of the Active Directory instance AD_SPSSAD, the value is AD_SPSSAD/MYDOMAIN/icrod. If the user icrod is in the OpenLDAP provider SPSSLDAP, the value is ldap_SPSSLDAP/icrod.
