Example Parameter File

The following is an example parameter file for a command line import operation from an LDAP directory. In this example, users in the LDAP directory are all stored in a single container, ou=employees; Account Import derives their position in the LDAP hierarchy by concatenating these LDAP attributes: Division, Department and Team. This example also imports e‑mail addresses and various LDAP attributes. Account Import writes these details to each CA DataMinder user account.

Example parameters

Resulting action

/ca

These define the import actions: create new CA DataMinder user accounts; reorganize the existing CA DataMinder user hierarchy; and update the account attributes for CA DataMinder users.

/re
/at
/sv UNI-HARDY-XP

These specify the LDAP host server and use previously cached credentials to log on to LDAP.

/ec
/dn unipraxis.com

These specify the LDAP root (or source container) for the import operation.

/lr ou=employees
/me

Existing CA DataMinder users not present in the LDAP directory will be moved to an exceptions group called ‘Non‑LDAP users’. Note the use of double quotes.

/eg "Non-LDAP users"
/pd UNIPRAXIS

User names for new CA DataMinder accounts will be prefixed with ‘UNIPRAXIS\’. The backslash is added automatically.

 
/ua attribute6

Defines the ‘anchor’ LDAP attribute. This example specifies CA DataMinder user attribute 6.

/ga Division,Department,Team

Defines the target group for imported users, based on hierarchy from this list of LDAP attributes.

/ml mail
/ml proxyAddresses
/ml legacyExchangeDN

Updates CA DataMinder email address attributes.

/al EmployeeID
/al Department
/al Team,,Rank

Updates CA DataMinder user attributes. These /al instances write LDAP attributes to UserAttribute1 through UserAttribute3 and to UserAttribute5.

Note: You cannot include ‘empty’ /al parameters; to specify non-consecutive user attributes, you must use comma delimiters.
