  • 1.  LDIF Import

    One more question...in the command to import (dxmodify) the example is:

    dxmodify  - a  - c  - H ldap://current_fullyqualifiedhostname:dsaport  - D "cn=EiamAdmin,cn=Admins,cn=Entities,cn=iTechPoz"  - w eiamadminpassword  - f iTechPoz-export.ldif

     

    It seems to want to get stuff from an ldap server:

     

    C:\Program Files (x86)\CA\Directory\dxserver\bin>dxmodify ?
    Add or modify entries from an LDAP server

    usage: dxmodify [options]
            The list of desired operations are read from stdin or from the file
            specified by "-f file".
    Add or modify options:
      -a         add mode, adds entries to the directory (default is to replace)
      -E [!]ext=extparam    modify extensions (! indicates criticality)
      -F         force all changes records to be used
      -l limit   time limit (in seconds, or "none" or "max") for modify
      -q            quiet mode, doesn't report successful add/mod dn's
      -r default is to replace rather than add values
      -s period     sleep for 'period' (ms) after each operation
      -S file    write skipped modifications to `file'
    Common options:
      -c         continuous operation mode (do not stop on errors)
      -d level   set LDAP debugging level to `level'
      -D binddn  bind DN
      -f file    read operations from `file' rather than standard input
      -h host    LDAP server
      -H URI     LDAP Uniform Resource Indentifier(s)
      -M         enable Manage DSA IT control (-MM to make critical)
      -n         show what would be done but don't actually do it
      -p port    port on server
      -P version procotol version (default: 3)
      -v         run in verbose mode (diagnostics to standard output)
      -w passwd  bind password (for simple authentication)
      -W         prompt for bind password
      -x         Simple authentication
      -y file    Read password from file
      -Z         Start TLS request (-ZZ to require successful response)

    C:\Program Files (x86)\CA\Directory\dxserver\bin>

     

     

    My eiamadmin credentials are all local and not in an LDAP server. I see a -x for Simple authentication but I do not see an option for specify the eiamadmin name except as an LDAP URI.

    Hi Steve,

    I believe CA Directory is itself an LDAP Server for holding Policy Stores, hence the structure of the dxmodify command (LDIF ="LDAP Data Interchange Format")
