changetype:add LDIF update statement. This provides a simplified method
of adding entries to the directory. This option also allows you to add directly a
file created by ldapmodify.
Specifies the suffix under which the new entries will be added.
Specifies the distinguished name with which to authenticate to the server. The
value must be a DN recognized by the Directory Server, and it must also have
the authority to modify the entries. For example, -D "uid=bjensen,
dc=example,dc=com". You cannot use this option with the -N option.
Optional option that specifies the file containing the LDIF update statements
used to define the directory modifications. For example, -f
modify_statements. If you do not supply this option, the update
statements are read from stdin. For information on supplying LDIF update
statements from the command-line, see chapter 2, "Creating Directory
Entries," in the Red Hat Directory Server Administrator's Guide.
