The Directory Proxy Server provides the following command-line utilities, which can be run directly in interactive, non-interactive, or script mode.
Command-Line Tools Description
authrate Perform repeated authentications against an LDAP directory server, where each authentication consists of a search to find a user followed by a bind to verify the credentials for that user.
backup Run full or incremental backups on one or more Directory Proxy Server backends. This utility also supports the use of a properties file to pass predefined command-line arguments. See Managing the tools.properties File for more information.
base64 Encode raw data using the base64 algorithm or decode base64-encoded data back to its raw representation.

create-rc-script Create an Run Control (RC) script that may be used to start, stop, and restart the Directory Proxy Server on UNIX-based systems.
create-recurring-task Create a recurring task to run on the server. Tasks can be created for backups, LDIF exports, a statically defined task, or a third-party task.
create-recurring-task-chain Create a chain of recurring tasks to run on the server.

update Update the Directory Proxy Server to a newer version by downloading and unzipping the new server install package on the same host as the server you wish to update. Then, use the update tool from the new server package to update the older version of the server. Before upgrading a server, you should ensure that it is capable of starting without severe or fatal errors. During the update process, the server is stopped if running, then the update performed, and a check is made to determine if the newly updated server starts without major errors. If it cannot start cleanly, the update will be backed out and the server returned to its prior state. See the revert-update tool for information on reverting an update.
validate-ldif Validate the contents of an LDIF file against the server schema.
