NAME
ldif2db.pl - Directory Server perl script for importing a LDIF file
SYNOPSIS
ldif2db.pl -n backend [-Z serverID] [-D rootdn] { -w password | -w - |
-j filename } [-P protocol] {-s includeSuffix}* [{-x excludeSuffix}*]
[-O] [-c chunksize] [-v] [-h] [-g [string]] [-G namespace_id] {-i file‐
name}*
DESCRIPTION
Imports LDIF file(s) into the server. Either the option '-n' or '-s'
must be used. This script creates an entry in the directory that
launches this dynamic task.
OPTIONS
A summary of options is included below:
-Z Server Identifier
The server ID of the Directory Server instance. If there is
only one instance on the system, this option can be skipped.
-D Root DN
The Directory Manager DN, or root DN. If not specified, the
script will search the server instance configuration for the
value.
-w password
The rootdn password.
-w -
Prompt for the rootdn password.
-j password filename
The name of the file that contains the root DN password.
-n Backend Name
The name of the LDBM database to restore. Example: userRoot
-s includeSuffix
Specifies the suffixes to be included or specifies the subtrees
to be included.
-x excludeSuffix
Specifies the suffixes to be excluded or specifies the subtrees
to be excluded.
-i filename
Name for the LDIF file to import.
-g [string]
Generates a unique ID. Type none for no unique ID to be gener‐
ated and deterministic for the generated unique ID to be name-
based. By default, a time-based unique ID is generated. When
using the deterministic generation to have a name-based unique
ID, it is also possible to specify the namespace for the server
to use, as follows:
-g deterministic namespaceId
namespaceId is a string of characters in the format 00-xxxxxxxx-
xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx.
-G namespace_id
Generates a namespace ID as a name-based unique ID. This is the
same as specifying the -g deterministic option.
-P Protocol
The connection protocol to connect to the Directory Server.
Protocols are STARTTLS, LDAPS, LDAPI, and LDAP. If this option
is skipped, the most secure protocol that is available is used.
For LDAPI, AUTOBIND is also available for the root user.
-O
Requests that only the core database is created without
attribute indexes.
-c Chunk size
The number of entries to process before starting a fresh pass
during the import. By default this is handled internally by the
server.
-v
Display verbose ouput
-h
Display usage
EXAMPLE
ldif2db.pl -Z instance1 -n userRoot -i /LDAP/ldif/data.ldif
ldif2db.pl -s "dc=example,dc=com" -i /LDAP/ldif/data.ldif -D 'cn=direc‐
tory manager' -w password -P STARTTLS
Note: security must be enabled to use protocol STARTTLS. If
STARTTLS is not available it will default to next strong‐
est/available protocol automatically.
DIAGNOSTICS
Exit status is zero if no errors occur. Errors result in a non-zero
exit status and a diagnostic message being written to standard error.
