Re: migrating to another server - restore problem - slapcat slapadd

[Christophe Dumonet <Christophe.Dumonet@ifma.fr>]

Hello,
I have solved the problem with JXplorer , which can export an ldap 
database in ldif format with hierachical order by default.
( the openldap version is 2.0..... and the slapcat utility doesn't had 
the -a option to filter .....)
Have a nice day,
Christophe Dumonet, From france.
