Utilities

APS includes a number of command line utilities and other tools to help in the configuration, maintenance and testing of APS. This section details the useful utilities. Other useful testing utilities are provided with the APS prerequisites (for example, SmPortalVfy). See the documentation for each subsystem for details of their use.

Every APS utility or tool that takes the LDAP administrator password (the -w option) now allows this password to be supplied in encrypted format. Use APSEncrypt to encrypt these passwords.

Each utility accepts, minimally, a command line switch of -? that can be used to display the utility's command line syntax. Those utilities that require command line options will display their syntax if run without them.
