2.3.15. cn=tasks

Some core Directory Server tasks can be initiated by editing a directory entry using LDAP tools. These
task entries are contained in cn=tasks. Each task can be invoked by updating an entry such as the
following:
dn: cn=task_id, cn=task_type, cn=tasks, cn=config
...
In Red Hat Directory Server deployments before Directory Server 8.0, many Directory Server
tasks were managed by the Administration Server. These tasks were moved to the core Directory
Server configuration in version 8.0 and are invoked and administered by Directory Server under the
cn=tasks entry.
There are seven tasks that are managed under the cn=tasks entry:
cn=import
•
cn=export
•
cn=backup
•
cn=restore
•
cn=index
•
cn=schema reload task
•
cn=memberof task
•
The common attributes for these tasks are listed in
Entries under cn=tasks".
The cn=tasks entry itself has no attributes and serves as the parent and container entry for the
individual task entries.
IMPORTANT
Task entries are not permanent configuration entries. They only exist in the configuration
file for as long as the task operation is running or until the ttl period expires. Then, the
entry is deleted automatically by the server.
