There must be, since GQ can do it.

So, if one compares GQ's LDIF output on a given "branch" as an Admin
bind DN, with a command line ldapsearch as an Admin bind on the same
"branch," one sees that they both produce an LDIF file with essentially
the same format.

 ldapsearch -x -D "cn=Admin,dc=billy,dc=demon,dc=nl" \
 -b "ou=groups,dc=billy,dc=demon,dc=nl" '(objectClass=*)' -w password \
 > /tmp/groups.ldif


I use Openldap 2.1.8, so if I say that both differ from an slapcat in
that they don't contain all the Creator, Modifier and Timestamp stuff
that slapcat produces, I hope you understand that. You don't say what
version you're using.

Best,

Tony
