8.5 Getting Started with WLST for Oracle Virtual Directory

You can use the WebLogic Scripting Tool WLST as the interface to perform several Oracle Virtual Directory administration and management tasks. While there are several tasks and procedures in this document that explain how to use WLST, you should refer to the following documents for complete information: ■ The Oracle Fusion Middleware Oracle WebLogic Scripting Tool for information on how to use the WLST command-line tool. ■ The Oracle Fusion Middleware WebLogic Scripting Tool Command Reference for information on syntax for the WLST command-line tool.

8.6 LDAP Tools Usage

The LDAP tools ldapadd, ldapdelete, ldapbind, and so on for Oracle Virtual Directory have been modified to prevent exposing passwords. Use the -q option instead of the -w option for user passwords, and use the -Q option instead of the -P option for wallet passwords. Commands prompt you for the password when you use the -q and -Q options. You can disable the -w and -P password options by setting the LDAP_PASSWORD_ PROMPTONLY environment variable to TRUE or 1. Set this environment variable whenever possible. Important: After you install Oracle Virtual Directory or after you restart the Oracle WebLogic Server, you must execute the WLST load method before you execute any other WLST command. Additionally, Oracle recommends executing the WLST load method before executing any WLST command on the Oracle Virtual Directory MBean. Executing the load method refreshes the MBean to the current configuration.
