The dsconfig command provides many subcommands. Subcommands let you create, list, and delete entire configuration components, and also let you get and set component properties. Subcommands therefore have names that reflect these five actions. create-component list-components delete-component get-component-prop set-component-prop Here, component names are names of managed object types. Subcommand component names are lower-case, hyphenated versions of the friendly names. When you act on an actual configuration component, you provide the name of the component as an option argument. For example, the Log Publisher component has these corresponding subcommands. create-log-publisher list-log-publishers delete-log-publisher get-log-publisher-prop set-log-publisher-prop When you create or delete Log Publisher components and when you get and set their configuration properties, you provide the name of the actual log publisher, which you can find by using the list-log-publishers subcommand. $ dsconfig \ list-log-publishers \ --hostname opendj.example.com \ --port 4444 \ --bindDN "cn=Directory Manager" \ --bindPassword password \ --trustAll Log Publisher : Type : enabled ------------------------------:------------------------:-------- File-Based Access Logger : file-based-access : true File-Based Audit Logger : file-based-audit : false File-Based Debug Logger : file-based-debug : false File-Based Error Logger : file-based-error : true File-Based HTTP Access Logger : file-based-http-access : false Replication Repair Logger : file-based-error : true $ dsconfig \ get-log-publisher-prop \ --publisher-name "File-Based Access Logger" \ --property rotation-policy \ --hostname opendj.example.com \ --port 4444 \ --bindDN "cn=Directory Manager" \ --bindPassword password \ --trustAll Property : Value(s) ----------------:-------------------------------------------------------------- rotation-policy : 24 Hours Time Limit Rotation Policy, Size Limit Rotation : Policy Many subcommands let you set property values. Notice in the reference for the subcommands below that specific options are available for handling multi-valued properties. Whereas you can assign a single property value by using the --set option, you assign multiple values to a multi-valued property by using the --add option. You can reset the values of the multi-valued property by using the --reset option. Use the following options to view help for subcommands. dsconfig --help-all Display all subcommands dsconfig --help-core-server Display subcommands relating to core server dsconfig --help-database Display subcommands relating to caching and back-ends dsconfig --help-logging Display subcommands relating to logging dsconfig --help-replication Display subcommands relating to replication dsconfig --help-security Display subcommands relating to authentication and authorization dsconfig --help-user-management Display subcommands relating to user management For help with individual subcommands, either use dsconfig subcommand --help, or start dsconfig in interactive mode, without specifying a subcommand. To view all component properties, use the dsconfig list-properties command.
