Parameters:

/c

Install the Directory Server as a Windows service, and when it runs, show the debug information console. Once you have issued the mfds command with this parameter, you start Directory Server using the Windows Control Panel.

/d

Show debug information; this is a record of activity on the Directory Server that can be useful when investigating problems

/dn network-address

Show debug information and bind to the specific network adapter at network-address, where network-address is four decimal numbers of up to three digits separated by full stops.

/e root DNuser partition DNgroup partition DNresource partition DNschema formatldif-filenamesec-path

Export Directory Server users and groups from the MF Directory Server repository to an LDIF file:

• root-DN

  The application partition to which all of the exported entries will be assigned.

• user-partition-DN

  The name of the container within the application partition to which the exprted users will be assigned.

• group-partition-DN

  The container within the application partition to which the exported groups will be assigned.

• root-DN

  The container within the application partition to which the exported resource definitions will be assigned.

• schema-format

  Values: 1 = Active Directory (Default).

• sec-path

  The location of the MF Directory Server repository.

/i

Install the Directory Server as a Windows service, and when it runs, do not show the debug information console. Once you have issued the mfds command with this parameter, you start Directory Server using the Windows Control Panel.

/j directory-path

Override the journal path. Journal data will be written to the filesystem directory that you specify. For example: mfds /j e:\journal

/l [schema partition Distinguished Name] optionldif-filename [schema-version-1] [schema-version-2]

Export the schema extensions that an LDAP server will require to support Micro Focus applications.

• schema partition Distinguished Name

  Specifies the DN of the partition in the Directory Information Tree where the schema definition is held. The schema partition holds, amongst other things, attributeSchema and classSchema objectclass instances.

• option

  Specifies the target directory server type: 0 = Microsoft Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM), 1 = Active Directory (Default), 2 = OpenLDAP, 3 = Sun Directory

  Note:

  If you specify the ldif-filename , you must also specify a value for this parameter.

• ldif-filename

  Specifies the name of the destination file.

  Default: mfds_schema_[ mfds version ].ldf (e.g. mfds_schema_1.05.09.ldf)

• schema-version-1

  Specifies the version of the schema extensions to be generated: 0 = current schema version (Default). Numbers greater than 0 specify older schema versions.

• schema-version-2

  This option is used for upgrading from a previous schema. If schema-version-2 is specified and is less the schema-version-1, the output file is a delta between the schema-version-1 and schema-version-2.

  If schema-version-2 is greater than or equal to schema-version-1, this option is ignored.

/m

Display the location of the Directory Server repository.

/n network-address

Bind to the specific network adapter at network-address, where network-address is four decimal numbers of up to three digits separated by full stops.

/p port-number

Bind to a non-standard port.

Note:

Many programs depend on Directory Server using the default port (86). Therefore, if you use an alternative port, you may experience interoperability problems.

You should also consider carefully before using this option to run more than one Directory Server on the same machine. By default, both would use the same options file and repository, and might therefore encounter conflicts.

/r

Refuse access to the Enterprise Server Administration interface.

/s option [usernamepassword]

Request a controlled shutdown of a Directory Server and optionally the associated enterprise servers. If the Directory Server is not using the default port, the /p option must be used to specify the port that is being used.

Option:

• Value 1: Shutdown the Directory Server only
• Value 2: Shutdown the Directory Server and any associated enterprise servers.

Username and password: These must be supplied if the Directory Server is running with Restrict administration access checked.

/u

Uninstall Directory Server as a Windows service

/v

Show version information for Directory Server

/x [repository type]

1 = file:///

[server name]

* = export all servers

<opts>

• D = (default) do not delete or overwrite any existing repository contents at specified location.
• O = delete and overwrite any existing repository contents at specified location.
• S = export server and security manager configuration.

<user id> <password>

These are the MFDS credentials required if administration access is restricted.
