Setup

-addreplica [--serverID num] [--guid D1C9C376-D940-404D-9941-7AD24E6A37DA] ⟨replica-address⟩

Adds a replication link with the specified server. The serverID and GUID of the remote machine you'd like to replicate with. The serverID and GUID can be viewed in the target machine's computer record. Replication links are unidirectional, the corresponding command should be run on the target server as well to get full replication working. Caution should be exercised with this command, it is best to avoid replication loops.

-changeip ⟨old-ip⟩ ⟨new-ip⟩ [⟨old-host⟩ ⟨new-host⟩]

Updates configuration records and files to contain the new host information. It does not change the IP address in Network preferences.

-createldapmasterandadmin [--allow_local_realm] [--certAuthName ⟨Cert Auth Name⟩] [--certAdminEmail ⟨Cert Admin Email⟩] [--certOrgName ⟨Cert Org Name⟩] ⟨new-admin⟩ ⟨new-fullname⟩ ⟨new-uid⟩ [⟨search base suffix⟩ [⟨realm⟩]]

Creates a new master LDAP server. Copies the root account to the new master domain. Creates a new directory node administrator.

-createreplica [--certAdminEmail ⟨Cert Admin Email⟩] ⟨master IP or name⟩ ⟨admin user⟩

Create a new replica from an existing LDAP master.

-createrootcertauthority ⟨Certificate Authority Name⟩ ⟨Certificate Authority Admin Email⟩ ⟨Certificate Authority Organization Name⟩

Create a CA on the OD master.

-destroyldapserver [diradmin]

Turns off the LDAP server and deletes its database. The optional argument of the diradmin account name will then prompt for the diradmin password and will inform all replication peers of the server's destruction.

-promotereplica ⟨admin-user⟩ ⟨archive-path⟩

Converts an existing replica into a master using the current database. Path to an archive from the master can given in order to add the root CA's keys to the promoted master.

-removereplica [--guid D1C9C376-D940-404D-9941-7AD24E6A37DA] -⟨replica-address⟩

Removes a replication link with the specified server. The GUID of the remote server being removed should be passed in with the --guid option. Replication links are unidirectional, so the corresponding command should be run on the target server to remove the other half of an existing replication link.

-setclient

Configures the machine to bind using DHCP if it is not already a client.

-setldapconfig [-maxresults ⟨maximum search results⟩] [-searchtimeout timeout] [-ssl on|off] [-sslidentity ⟨identity name⟩] [-sslserialnumber ⟨certificate serial number⟩] [-sslsha1fingerprint ⟨certificate sha1 fingerprint as a hex encoded colon separated string⟩]

Applies the specified settings and restarts slapd. Settings not specified are unchanged.

-setstandalone

Configures the machine to only use the local directory.

-setmacosxodpolicy [-binding [disabled|enabled|required] [] -cleartext [blocked|allowed] [] -encrypt [yes|no] [] -sign [yes|no] [] -clientcaching [yes|no] [] -man-in-middle [blocked|allowed]]

Sets directory binding options.

-startldapserver

Configures launchd to run slapd.

-stopldapserver

Configures launchd not to run slapd.

-updateaddresses

Merges new interfaces into the list of LDAP replicas.

Password Server

-startpasswordserver

Sets up a launchd plist file and starts the password server.

-stoppasswordserver

Sets the launchd plist file to be disabled and stops the password server.

Runtime

-enableslapdlog

Turns on the LDAP server logging to /var/log/slapd.log.

-setfullsyncmode [yes | no]

The LDAP server defaults to running in a "full sync mode" to ensure database transactions are fully flushed to disk. This improves data integrity in the event of a power loss, but can result in slower performance when importing large datasets. Setting this option to no disables this functionality temporarily in order to speed up large imports. After the import has been completed, this option should be set back to yes for normal operation.

Backup and Restore

-backupdb ⟨archive-path⟩

Creates an archive containing the LDAP, Password Server and Kerberos databases. It also contains Certificate Authority related data.

-restoredb ⟨archive-path⟩

Restores a directory to the backed-up state.
