3.4.Using the ConfigFile Parameter to Configure the Directory Server

The ConfigFile parameter in the .inf is an extremely useful tool to configure the directory from the time it is set up. The ConfigFile parameter specified an LDIF file to import into the directory. Since the ConfigFile parameter can be used multiple times, it is a good idea to have multiple LDIF files so that the individual entries are easy to manage.

The ConfigFile parameter is set in the [slapd] section of the .inf.
