files. Code Example 4-4 shows a sample listing of the ldif directory contents.
Code Example 4-4 Contents of a Sample LDIF Directory
The following list describes the content of each of the ldif files:
• European.ldif — Contains European character samples.
• Example.ldif — Is a sample ldif file.
• Example-roles.ldif — Is a sample ldif file similar to Example.ldif, except
that it uses roles and class of service instead of groups for setting access control
and resource limits for Directory Administrators.
Lock Files
Each Directory Server instance contains a locks directory for storing lock -related
files. Code Example 4-5 shows a sample listing of the locks directory contents.
Code Example 4-5 Contents of a Sample Locks Directory
The lock mechanisms stored under the locks subdirectories exports , imports ,
and server prevent multiple, simultaneous operations conflicting with each other.
The lock mechanisms allow for one server instance to run at a time, with possible
multiple export jobs. They also permit one ldif2db import operation at a time (not
ldif2db.pl since you can run multiple ldif2db.pl operations at any time) to the
exclusion of all export and slapd server operations.
