Re: import LDIF file from openldap to redhat directory server

I have run "slapcat -l export.ldif" many times without stopping the ldap service and it seems fine, and worked perfectly. Was there any reason why the service need to be stop while running slapcat? Just curious.

Thanks,

Use slapcat -l users.ldif but first stop the slapd service if using old version of OpenLDAP.

Can you give me the procedure how to back up the entire openldap to LDIF file

# ldapsearch -x -LLL > openldap.ldif

Is this correct.

No. Please read my previous message, which contains an indication of the correct procedure.

Dear gurus

I have installed redhat directory server in a new

server. The OS is RHEL V5.

We already are running openldap in RHEL V4. Now how

can I import the all the datas (user accounts) from openldap
to RHDS.

Please give me the procedure.

To extract the data in LDIF, you can use slapcat(8). Then,
you probably better ask on a RHDS list.
