I'm reasonably new to LDAP and very new to Fedora's DirectoryServer. I'm trying to "migrate" (I use the term loosely) from a Sun ONE (specifically, JES 2004Q2, which is Directory Server 5.2) LDAP server to a Fedora Core 8 server running DS 1.1.0 (installed from a yum respository's binary). My problems are twofold: I have custom schema authored by Bowdoin (a college, my employer), and I have schema that comes from Sun's implementation of LDAP. For example, on the Sun server, 99user.ldif contains the following: objectClasses: ( nsmsgCfgmtaautoreplyhandler-oid NAME 'nsmsgCfgmtaautoreplyhan dler' SUP top STRUCTURAL MUST cn MAY ( nsmsgDefaultecho $ nsmsgDefaultreply $ nsmsgDefaultvacation ) X-ORIGIN ( 'iPlanet Messaging Server configuration' 'user defined' ) ) (which is for iPlanet, a part of Sun's... well, whatever) As well as: attributeTypes: ( majorname-oid NAME 'majorname' DESC 'Major Full Name' SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15 X-ORIGIN 'user defined' ) Which is used to track students' majors. I tried following the instructions I found here: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/dir-server/MigrateFromSun.html and "converting" the 99user.ldif file into a more typical LDIF and adding that with ldapmodify, but that didn't work particularly well -- a lot of the Sun-specific schema was rejected by Fedora DS. Then I tried removing what I thought was the Sun schema extensions leaving Bowdoin's extensions, and that seemed to work (with one or two strange exceptions). However, when I tried to import the LDIF full of users from the Sun system (which I dumped with db2ldif), I get a whole host of errors: mostly things like "Error adding object 'dn: cn=Administrators,o=Bowdoin College,c=US'. The error sent by the server was 'Object class violation. attribute "mgmanmembervisibility" not allowed". I'm no expert, but I presume this is because the LDIF of users still contains references to the Sun schema attributes. So, here are my questions: * why can't I import the Sun schema if that's what I want to do? * if I can't import the Sun schema, is there an easy way of stripping out the Sun attributes from a 10,000-user LDIF file? Thanks, Chris
