NS-NEWPWPOLICY.PL(8)					      System Manager's Manual					      NS-NEWPWPOLICY.PL(8)

NAME

       ns-newpwpolicy.pl - Directory Server perl script for preparing new password policies.

SYNOPSIS

       ns-newpwpolicy.pl [-Z serverID] [-v] [-D rootdn] { -w password | -j filename } [-P protocol] [-p port] [-h host] -U UserDN -S SuffixDN

DESCRIPTION

       Adds entries required for implementing the user- and subtree-level password policy.

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.

       -w -
	      Prompt for the rootdn password.

       -j password filename
	      The name of the file that contains the root DN password.

       -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 host
	      Host name of the Directory Server.

       -p port
	      Port number of the Directory Server.

       -U userDN
	      Specifies the DN of the user entry that needs to be updated with user-level password policy attributes.

       -S suffixDN
	      Specifies the DN of the suffix entry that needs to be updated with subtree-level password policy attributes.

       -v
	      Display verbose ouput

EXAMPLE

       ns-newpwpolicy.pl -Z instance3 -D 'cn=directory manager' -w password -P STARTTLS -U 'uid=user,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com'

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

DIAGNOSTICS

       Exit status is zero if no errors occur.	Errors result in a non-zero exit status and a diagnostic message being written to standard error.
