The ldif2sb-task subcommand supports the following arguments:
Request that only the core db is created without attribute indexes.
User DN with root permissions, such as Directory Manager.
Generation of a unique ID. Enter none for no unique ID to be generated and deterministic for the generated unique ID to be name-based. Generates a time based unique ID by default.
If you use the deterministic generation to have a name-based unique ID, you can also specify the namespace you want the server to use as follows:
-g deterministic namespace_id
where namespace_id is a string of characters in the following format
00-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx
Use this option if you want to import the same LDIF file into two different directory servers, and you want the contents of both directories to have the same set of unique IDs. If unique IDs already exist in the LDIF file you are importing, then the existing IDs are imported to the server regardless of the options you have specified.
Generate a namespace ID as a name-based unique ID. This is the same as specifying -g deterministic.

Password associated with the user DN. Supplying the password on the command line is visible using the /bin/ps command. This is considered insecure. Use with extreme caution.
The value - can be used in place the password. The program prompts the user for a password to be entered from the terminal.
Verbose mode.
Format LDIF files, and create base 64 encoded attribute values. With Base 64 Encoding you can represent binary data, such as a JPEG image, in LDIF by using base 64 encoding. You identify base 64 encoded data by using the :: symbol. The ldifsubcommand takes any input and formats it with the correct line continuation and appropriate attribute information. The subcommand also senses whether the input requires base 64 encoding.
The ldif subcommand supports the following arguments
Interpret the entire input as a single binary value. If -b is not present, each line is considered to be a separate input value.
If -b is specified, the output is attrtype:: <base 64 encoded value.
Import the data to the directory. To run this subcommand the server must be stopped. Note that ldif2db supports LDIF version 1 specifications. You can load an attribute using the URL specifier notation, for example: jpegphoto:file:///tmp/myphoto.jpg
Merge chunk size.
Generation of a unique ID. Type none for no unique ID to be generated and deterministic for the generated unique ID to be name-based. By default a time based unique ID is generated.
If you use the deterministic generation to have a name-based unique ID, you can also specify the namespace you want the server to use as follows:
-g deterministic namespace_id
where namespace_id is a string of characters in the following format:
00-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx
Use this option if you want to import the same LDIF file into two different directory servers, and you want the contents of both directories to have the same set of unique IDs. If unique IDs already exist in the LDIF file you are importing, then the existing IDs are imported to the server regardless of the options you have specified.
Generate a namespace ID as a name-based unique ID. This is the same as specifying the -g deterministic option.
File name of the input LDIF file(s). When you import multiple files, they are imported in the order in which you specify them on the command line.

Start SNMP master agent. The Config and INIT files are in /usr/iplanet/ds5/plugins/snmp/magt. For more information, see the iPlanet Directory Server 5.1 Administrator’s Guide.
The magt subcommand supports the following options:
The CONFIG file defines the community and the manager that master agent works with. Specify the manager value as a valid system name or an IP address.
The INIT file is a nonvolatile file that contains information from the MIB-II system group, including system location and contact information. If INIT doesn't already exist, starting the master agent for the first time creates it. An invalid manager name in the CONFIG file causes the master agent start-up to fail.
Retrieves performance monitoring information using the ldapsearch command-line utility.
Combine multiple LDIF files into a single authoritative set of entries. Typically each LDIF file is from a master server cooperating in a multi master replication agreement.[e.g. masters that refuse to sync up for whatever reason]. Optionally, it can generate LDIF change files that could be applied to original to bring it up to date with authoritative. At least two input files must be specified.
The mmldif subcommand supports the following arguments:
Write a change file (.delta) for each input file. Specify inputfile as the input LDIF files.

Print the encrypted form of a password using one of the server's encryption algorithms. If a user cannot log in, you can use this script to compare the user's password to the password stored in the directory.
The pwdhash subcommand supports the following arguments:
The available schemes are SSHA, SHA, CRYPT and CLEARE. It generates the encrypted passwords according to scheme's algorithm. The -c specifies the encrypted password to be compared with. The result of comparison is either OK or doesn't match.
The instance directory.
The passwords are hex-encoded.
The clear passwords to generate encrypted form from or to be compared with.
