Working with the watch-entry tool

The PingDirectory server provides a watch-entry tool that demonstrates replication or synchronization latency by watching an LDAP entry for changes.

About this task

You can directly modify attributes with the watch-entry tool.

If the LDAP entry changes, the background of modified attributes will briefly be red.

Steps

Run the watch-entry tool.

Example:

This example connects to server.example.com as uid=admin,dc=example,dc=com and watches entry uid=kate,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com for changes.

$ bin/watch-entry --hostname server.example.com --port 389 \
  --bindDN uid=admin,dc=example,dc=com --bindPassword password \
  --entryDN uid=user,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com
