4.10. LDIF File Access

The LDIF connection handler lets you make changes to directory data by placing LDIF in a file system directory that OpenDJ server regularly polls for changes. The LDIF, once consumed, is deleted.

You configure LDIF file access by using the command-line tool dsconfig.

Procedure 4.11. To Set Up LDIF File Access

  1. Activate LDIF file access.

    $ dsconfig
 set-connection-handler-prop
 --hostname opendj.example.com
 --port 4444
 --bindDN "cn=Directory Manager"
 --bindPassword password
 --handler-name "LDIF Connection Handler"
 --set enabled:true
 --trustAll
 --no-prompt

    The change takes effect immediately.

  2. Add the directory where you put LDIF to be processed.

    $ mkdir /path/to/opendj/config/auto-process-ldif

    This example uses the default value of the ldif-directory property for the LDIF connection handler.
