HP UX Red Hat Direry Server Software manual About .inf File Parameters

Chapter 6. Advanced Setup and Configuration

For example, to configure a new Directory Server instance as a supplier in replication, ConfigFile can be used to create the replication manager, replica, and replication agreement entries:

[slapd]

...

ConfigFile = repluser.ldif

ConfigFile = changelog.ldif

ConfigFile = replica.ldif

ConfigFile = replagreement.ldif

...

The LDIF file contains the entry information. For example, the replica.ldif contains the information to configure the new Directory Server instance as a supplier:

dn: cn=replica,cn="dc=example,dc=com",cn=mapping tree,cn=config

changetype: add

objectclass: top

objectclass: nsds5replica

objectclass: extensibleObject

cn: replica

nsds5replicaroot: dc=example,dc=com

nsds5replicaid: 7

nsds5replicatype: 3

nsds5flags: 1

nsds5ReplicaPurgeDelay: 604800

nsds5ReplicaBindDN: cn=replication manager,cn=config

For more information on LDIF, see the Directory Server Administrator's Guide.

The ConfigFile parameter can be used to create special user entries like the replication manager, to configure views or classes of service, to add new suffixes and databases, to create instances of the Attribute Uniqueness plug-in, and to set many other configurations for Directory Server.
