NETASQ: ldap export / import without external tools (ie: Ldap Browser)

Hi Folks,

so, everytime you need to manipulate the ldap db you'll find a kb, a mail, a tips saying:

Hey you need and ldap browser tool .

 

Wrong !

 

The netasq have everything inside to do this!

lets see how:

 

where is the conf file:

/var/ldap/slapd.conf

Stop the ldap server:

nstop ldap

Export the db in an ldif format:

slapd -4 -T cat -f /var/ldap/slapd.conf > /tmp/export.ldif

Modify it:

vi /tmp/export.ldif

Move the old db:

cd /data/Main/

mv Ldapbase Ldapbase.old

mkdir Ldapbase

Recreate the DB:

slapd -T add -f /var/ldap/slapd.conf -l /tmp/export.ldif
bdb_monitor_db_open: monitoring disabled; configure monitor database to enable

=> bdb_tool_entry_put: txn_aborted! DB_KEYEXIST: Key/data pair already exists (-30996)

Closing DB...

Start the ldap server:

nstart ldap

Lets see if the modif is here:

slapd -4 -T cat -f /var/ldap/slapd.conf

Taht's all !!!
