NAME
       ns-newpwpolicy.pl  -  Directory	Server	perl  script for preparing new
       password policies.

SYNOPSIS
       ns-newpwpolicy.pl [-Z serverID] [-v] [-D rootdn] {  -w  password	 |  -j
       filename } [-P protocol] [-p port] [-h host] -U UserDN -S SuffixDN

DESCRIPTION
       Adds  entries  required	for  implementing  the user- and subtree-level
       password policy.

OPTIONS
       A summary of options is included below:

       -Z Server Identifier
	      The server ID of the Directory Server  instance.	 If  there  is
	      only one instance on the system, this option can be skipped.

       -D Root DN
	      The  Directory  Manager  DN,  or root DN.	 If not specified, the
	      script will search the server  instance  configuration  for  the
	      value.

       -w password
	      The rootdn password.

       -w -
	      Prompt for the rootdn password.

       -j password filename
	      The name of the file that contains the root DN password.

       -P Protocol
	      The  connection  protocol	 to  connect  to the Directory Server.
	      Protocols are STARTTLS, LDAPS, LDAPI, and LDAP.  If this	option
	      is  skipped, the most secure protocol that is available is used.
	      For LDAPI, AUTOBIND is also available for the root user.

       -h host
	      Host name of the Directory Server.

       -p port
	      Port number of the Directory Server.

       -U userDN
	      Specifies the DN of the user entry that needs to be updated with
	      user-level password policy attributes.

       -S suffixDN
	      Specifies	 the  DN  of the suffix entry that needs to be updated
	      with subtree-level password policy attributes.

       -v
	      Display verbose ouput

EXAMPLE
       ns-newpwpolicy.pl -Z instance3 -D 'cn=directory manager' -w password -P
       STARTTLS -U 'uid=user,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com'

	      Note:  security  must  be	 enabled to use protocol STARTTLS.  If
	      STARTTLS is not  available  it  will  default  to	 next  strong‐
	      est/available protocol automatically.

DIAGNOSTICS
       Exit  status  is	 zero if no errors occur.  Errors result in a non-zero
       exit status and a diagnostic message being written to standard error.
