About the dsconfig configuration tool

./dsconfig --help

View and edit the Directory Server configuration.
This utility offers three primary modes of operation, the interactive mode, the non-interactive mode
and batch mode.  The interactive mode supports viewing and editing the configuration via an intuitive,
menu driven environment.  Running dsconfig in interactive command-line mode provides a user-friendly,
menu-driven interface for accessing and configuring the server. To start dsconfig in interactive
command-line mode, simply invoke the dsconfig shell script or batch file without any arguments.

The dsconfig non-interactive command-line mode provides a simple way to make arbitrary changes to the
Ping Identity Directory Server by invoking it on the command-line. If you want to use administrative
scripts to automate the configuration process, then run the dsconfig command in non-interactive mode.

The dsconfig tool provides a batching mechanism that reads multiple dsconfig invocations from a file
and executes them sequentially.  The batch file provides advantages over standard scripting in that it
minimizes LDAP connections and JVM invocations that normally occur with each dsconfig call.  You can
view the logs/config-audit.log file to review the configuration changes made to the Ping Identity
Directory Server and use them in the batch file.

Examples

  Start dsconfig in interactive mode:

    dsconfig

  Use non-interactive mode to change the amount memory used for caching database contents and to specify
  common parent DNs that should be compacted in the underlying database:

    dsconfig --no-prompt --bindDN uid=admin,dc=example,dc=com \
         --bindPassword password set-backend-prop --backend-name userRoot \
         --set db-cache-percent:40 \
         --add compact-common-parent-dn:ou=accts,dc=example,dc=com \
         --add compact-common-parent-dn:ou=subs,dc=example,dc=com

  Use batch mode to read and execute a series of commands in a batch file:

    dsconfig --bindDN uid=admin,dc=example,dc=com --bindPassword password \
         --no-prompt --batch-file /path/to/config-batch.txt

  List information about all available configuration properties for all objects, including inherited properties:

    dsconfig list-properties --offline --inherited
