If you just want to restore the database to it's initial state, you can
just do an import - ldif2db or ldif2db.pl - this will remove the
previous contents and create a new database. This might be sufficient
for your purposes, without having to delete the database and mapping
tree entries. See ldif2db.pl for how to invoke an import operation via
ldap - you can do something similar in python-ldap:
def startTaskAndWait(self,entry,verbose=False):
# start the task
dn = entry.dn
self.add_s(entry)
entry = self.getEntry(dn, ldap.SCOPE_BASE)
if not entry:
if verbose:
print "Entry %s was added successfully, but I cannot
search it" % dn
return -1
elif verbose:
print entry
# wait for task completion - task is complete when the
nsTaskExitCode attr is set
attrlist = ['nsTaskLog', 'nsTaskStatus', 'nsTaskExitCode',
'nsTaskCurrentItem', 'nsTaskTotalItems']
done = False
exitCode = 0
while not done:
time.sleep(1)
entry = self.getEntry(dn, ldap.SCOPE_BASE,
"(objectclass=*)", attrlist)
if verbose:
print entry
if entry.nsTaskExitCode:
exitCode = int(entry.nsTaskExitCode)
done = True
return exitCode
def importLDIF(self,file,suffix,be=None,verbose=False):
cn = "import" + str(int(time.time()));
dn = "cn=%s, cn=import, cn=tasks, cn=config" % cn
entry = Entry(dn)
entry.setValues('objectclass', 'top', 'extensibleObject')
entry.setValues('cn', cn)
entry.setValues('nsFilename', file)
if be:
entry.setValues('nsInstance', be)
else:
entry.setValues('nsIncludeSuffix', suffix)
rc = self.startTaskAndWait(entry, verbose)
if rc:
if verbose:
print "Error: import task %s for file %s exited with %d"
% (cn,file,rc)
else:
if verbose:
print "Import task %s for file %s completed
successfully" % (cn,file)
return rc
