dsadmin(1Mnws)

Synopsis

Description

• display or temporarily set the values for the nwcm(1Mipx) parameter ds_bindery_context (to make permanent changes, use nwcm itself)

• abort Directory Services client requests

• display the active Directory Services tree

• display the existing server licenses

• add a new license

• delete an existing license

Options

-a

Abort DS client requests that exceed the specified count of ``request being processed'' (RBP) retries. Any outstanding DS client requests that have RBP counters greater than the value you specify for count are cancelled.

You may need to use this option if a client request is in a loop. To determine if a client request is looping, use the nwetcinfo utility (see nwetcinfo(1Mnws)). The last parameter reported by nwetcinfo, ``Highest Request Being Processed count current in request table'', indicates the highest number of consecutive RBP packets outstanding for any client request. If this number is large (for example, 10 or more), the request is probably in a loop.

-b

Set the interval, in minutes, at which NDS backlink consistency checking is performed.

-B

Specify the bindery context. Multiple bindery contexts are separated by semi-colons. The equivalent of native NetWare is set bindery context=.

-d

Enable (on) or a dstrace value enables NDS tracing to the scree: off disables it.

-e

Enforce checking of the ``Equivalent to Me'' attribute on authentication.

-f

Trace DS events to the specified NDS trace file on the SYS volume.

-F

Set the path and name of the specified NDS trace file on the SYS volume.

-i

Specify the interval, in minutes, after which synchronization of replicas is performed following a period of no change to the information held in NDS on the server.

-j

Set the interval, in minutes, at which the NDS janitor process is executed.

-r

Restrict NDS synchronization. OFF allows synchronization with any version of DS. ON restricts synchronization to version numbers you specify as parameters. For example:

ON, 420 421

-s

Mark the status of all server objects in the local namebase as UP or DOWN.

-t

Display the name of the Directory Services tree that is active on the NetWare server.

-u

Forces the server to unregister the Directory Services Install and Directory Services Repair utilities from NDS. If the utilities exited abnormally, this option anables the invoking of them again or the shutting down of the server.

-x

Specify the number of hours that unused external references will be allowed to exist before they are removed.

-z

Clear the NDS trace file (sets the trace file length to zero).

Examples

• To reset ds_bindery_context to ``O=Marketing'', type:
  
  tfadmin dsadmin -B binderycontext=O=Marketing

• To unregister the Directory Services Install and Directory Services Repair utilities from NDS, type:
  
  ftadmin dsadmin -u

• To abort a request for a DS client that has received 36 consecutive RBP packets from a remote server, type:
  
  tfadmin dsadmin -a 35

• To display the name of the DS tree on the server, type:
  
  tfadmin dsadmin -t
