OPTIONS

       A summary of options is included below:

       -Z Server Identifier
	      The server ID of the Directory Server instance.  If there is only one instance on the system, this option can be skipped.

       -D Root DN
	      The Directory Manager DN, or root DN.  If not specified, the script will search the server instance configuration for the value.

       -w password
	      The rootdn password.

       -f LDIF file
	      The LDIF file with the entries to add.

       -P Protocol
	      The  connection  protocol  to  connect  to the Directory Server.	Protocols are STARTTLS, LDAPS, LDAPI, and LDAP.  If this option is
	      skipped, the most secure protocol that is available is used.  For LDAPI, AUTOBIND is also available for the root user.

       -h

EXAMPLE

       ldif2ldap -Z instance3 -D 'cn=directory manager' -w password -f /LDAP/ldif/entries.ldif -P STARTTLS

       Note: security must be enabled to use protocol STARTTLS.  If STARTTLS is not available it will default to next strongest/available protocol
       automatically.
