Suffix(es) to be included.
Request that only the core db is created without attribute indexes.
Merge chunk size.
Generation of a unique ID. Type none for no unique ID to be
generated and deterministic for the generated unique ID to be
name-based. By default a time based unique ID is generated.
If you use the deterministic generation to have a name-based
unique ID, you can also specify the namespace you want the server to
use as follows:
-g deterministic namespace_id
where namespace_id is a string of characters in the following format
00-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx
Use this option if you want to import the same LDIF file into two
different directory servers, and you want the contents of both
directories to have the same set of unique IDs. If unique IDs already
exist in the LDIF file you are importing, then the existing IDs are
imported to the server regardless of the options you have specified.
Generates a namespace ID as a name-based unique ID. This is the
same as specifying the -g deterministic option.
