Summary: performing LDAP-related administrative tasks

Some administrative tasks can be accomplished by using installutil subcommands; other tasks require that you use a script that calls one or more Rational ClearQuest® APIs that have been created to support LDAP authentication. Table 1 summarizes the methods available to perform common administrative tasks. For information about Rational® ClearQuest APIs, see the API documentation.
