Answer 1

./dsconfig set-backend-prop --backend-name userRoot --add base-dn:dc=<<esamurdhiint,dc=lk>>
--hostname localhost --port 4444 --bindDN cn=admin,ou=system --bindPassword changeit
--trustAll --noPropertiesFile --no-prompt

Answer 2

As Roshan indicated, you need to configure the suffix (base-dn) first and specify which database backend it will be in. You may choose to add the suffix to the default backend (userRoot) or to a new backend.
