MigrationTools

THIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY AND WITHOUT SUPPORT.

These tools are freely redistributable according to the license included with the source files. They may be bundled with LDAP/NIS migration products. See RFC 2307 for more information.

You need perl to run these.

Edit migrate_common.ph and change the following site-specific variables to reflect your installation:

$DEFAULT_MAIL_DOMAIN
$DEFAULT_BASE

Then run the tools on each of your /etc database files, eg. to migrate protocols you might do:

./migrate_protocols.pl /etc/protocols protocols.ldif

where the first argument is the input file and the last argument is the output file. You then can concatenate all your output files together and load that into your LDAP database with an online or offline import tool (such as ldapadd and slapadd, respectively).

The following table will tell you which migration shell script to use:

Script Existing nameservice LDAP online

migrate_all_online.sh           /etc flat files         YES
migrate_all_offline.sh          /etc flat files         NO
migrate_all_netinfo_online.sh   NetInfo                 YES
migrate_all_netinfo_offline.sh  NetInfo                 NO
migrate_all_nis_online.sh       Sun NIS/YP              YES
migrate_all_nis_offline.sh      Sun NIS/YP              NO
migrate_all_nisplus_online.sh   Sun NIS+                YES
migrate_all_nisplus_offline.sh  Sun NIS+                NO

(The online scripts use ldapadd; the offline scripts use ldif2ldbm.)
