PingDirectory

Saving options in a file

The PingDirectory server supports the use of a tools properties file (config/tools.properties) to simplify command-line invocations by reading in a set of options for each tool from a text file.

Properties files are convenient when quickly testing the PingDirectory server in multiple environments.

Each property takes the form of a name-value pair that defines predetermined values for a tool’s options.

The PingDirectory server supports the following types of properties:

  • Default properties that apply to all command-line utilities

  • Tool-specific properties
