LDIF Configuration Files - Location

The Directory Server configuration data is automatically output to files in LDIF
format that are located in the following directory:
/usr/netscape/servers/slapd-serverID/config
where serverID is the server identifier that you defined when you installed your
Directory Server. Thus, if you specified a server identifier of
example, then your configuration LDIF files are all stored under:
/usr/netscape/servers/slapd-phonebook/config
For the purposes of this chapter, all examples use
identifier where appropriate.

Schema Configuration Files - Location

Schema configuration is also stored in LDIF format and these files are located in the
following directory:
/usr/netscape/servers/slapd-phonebook/config/schema
For a full list of the LDIF configuration files that are supplied with Directory
Server, see Table 2-3 under Configuration Quick Reference Tables at the end of this
chapter.
