-p <port>	LDAP server port number.

Comments You can import the Security Management User Database to an LDAP server by first generating an LDIF file using fwm dbexport, and then using ldapmodify.

Before importing, prepare the LDAP directory as follows:

• Make sure the root branch is defined as an allowed branch on your LDAP server.
• Restart the LDAP server.
• Create the branch into which the users will be imported, either by using Create Tree Object in the Account Management Client or with the ldapmodify command:

  ldapmodify -a -h <host> -p <port> -D <LDAPadminDN> -w <LDAPadminPassword> dn: o=myOrg,c=US objectclass: organization o:myOrg

Example Importing Users using ldapmodify:

1. Export the users using fwm dbexport using hello1234 as the pre-shared secret.

   fwm dbexport -l -f ./o_file.ldif -s "o=bigcorp,c=uk" -k hello1234

2. Create the "o=bigcorp,c=uk" branch.
3. Import the users:

   ldapmodify -a -c -h <host> -p <port> -D bindDN -w bindPas -f ./o_file.ldif

4. Define an Account Unit with these parameters.
