Usage

move-subtree {arguments}

Source Connection and Authentication Arguments

--sourceHostname {host} — The IP address or resolvable name to use to connect to the directory server. If this is not provided, then a default value of 'localhost' will be used.
--sourcePort {port} — The port to use to connect to the directory server. If this is not provided, then a default value of 389 will be used.
The specified value must not be less than 1 or greater than 65,535.
--sourceBindDN {dn} — The DN to use to bind to the directory server when performing simple authentication.
A provided value must be able to be parsed as an LDAP distinguished name as described in RFC 4514.
--sourceBindPassword {password} — The password to use to bind to the directory server when performing simple authentication or a password-based SASL mechanism.
--sourceBindPasswordFile {path} — The path to the file containing the password to use to bind to the directory server when performing simple authentication or a password-based SASL mechanism.
The specified path must refer to a file that exists.
--sourceUseSSL — Use SSL when communicating with the directory server.
This argument is not allowed to have a value. If this argument is included in a set of arguments, then it will be assumed to have a value of 'true'. If it is absent from a set of arguments, then it will be assumed to have a value of 'false'.
