The Directory Utility is a Java application the administrator can use to manage user, group or
session configuration information. This information is stored either in the
Z and I Emulator for Web default data store, or in an LDAP
directory. This utility is only useful in the environment where the Configuration Server-based
model is in use. The Directory Utility enables you to add, delete, or update large numbers of
users, groups, or sessions in a batch mode environment instead of using the Administration
client. The Directory Utility reads an XML ASCII file that contains the following actions to
be performed on users, groups, or sessions defined to the Configuration Server:
- Add, update, and delete groups
- Add, update, and delete users from groups
- Add, update, and delete sessions from users or groups
- List existing users and groups in output files, as products of unique searches
- List existing users and groups in output files that can be reused as input
|
Searches performed with the list action are either user-based
(returning user-specific information) or group-based (returning group-specific
information). LDAP environments, however, support only user-based searches. |
