/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 DN user partition DN group partition DN resource partition DN schema format ldif-filename sec-path | Export Directory Server users and groups from the
MF Directory Server repository to an LDIF file
|
||||||||||||
/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] option ldif-filename | Export the schema extensions that an LDAP server will require
to support Micro Focus applications.
|
||||||||||||
/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.
Warning: 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 [username password] | 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.
|
||||||||||||
/v | Show version information for Directory Server |
The command to start the Directory Server can be inserted into your startup shell script; then the Directory Server will be started automatically when the machine is started. The mfds command must be inserted after the command to start up TCP/IP, because Directory Server needs TCP/IP to be running. If the command has been added to your startup shell script you would normally need to start the Directory Server only if you performed a shutdown since you started the machine.
Note: Issuing an mfds command with any of the parameters /e, /l, /m, /v does not start the Directory Server
On UNIX you can use a dash (-) before a parameter as an alternative to a forward slash (/).
