The Oracle Directory Integration Platform Home Page

3-4 Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrators Guide for Oracle Directory Integration Platform ■ oidprovtool: Administers provisioning profile entries in the directory by enabling you to perform tasks such as: – Create new provisioning profiles – Enable or disable existing provisioning profiles – Modify existing provisioning profiles – Delete existing provisioning profiles – Get the current status of a provisioning profile – Clear all errors in an existing provisioning profile Refer to Managing Provisioning Profiles Using oidprovtool on page 13-2 for more information. ■ schemasync: Directory Integration Platform does not support the synchronization of schema and ACLs. You can use the schemasync tool to identify differences in schema, specifically attributes and object classes, between Oracle Internet Directory and connected directories. After identifying the differences, you can make the appropriate changes to the LDIF file containing the schema and then use the ldapadd and ldapmodify tools to upload the schema differences. schemasync is located in the ORACLE_HOMEbin directory.

3.2.1 Using Standard LDAP Command-Line Tools

Oracle Directory Integration Platform supports the standard LDAP command-line utilities, including those listed in Table 3–1 . For security reasons, avoid supplying a password on the command-line whenever possible. A password typed on the command line is visible on your screen and might appear in log files or in the output from the ps command. When you supply a password at a prompt, it is not visible on the screen, in ps output, or in log files. Use the -q and -Q options, respectively, instead of the -P password and -w password options. The LDAP tools have been modified to disable the options -w password and -P password when the environment variable LDAP_PASSWORD_PROMPTONLY is set to TRUE or 1. Use this feature whenever possible. See: Oracle Fusion Middleware User Reference for Oracle Identity Management for more information.
