Chapter 7. Installing an IdM server or replica with custom database settings from an LDIF file You can install an IdM server and IdM replicas with custom settings for the Directory Server database. The following procedure shows you how to create an LDAP Data Interchange Format (LDIF) file with database settings, and how to pass those settings to the IdM server and replica installation commands. Prerequisites You have determined custom Directory Server settings that improve the performance of your IdM environment. See Adjusting IdM Directory Server performance . Procedure Create a text file in LDIF format with your custom database settings. Separate LDAP attribute modifications with a dash (-). This example sets non-default values for the idle timeout and maximum file descriptors. Use the --dirsrv-config-file parameter to pass the LDIF file to the installation script.
