We are trying to import an ldif file from our old Sun One Directory Server 5.2. We have the 389 server set up and running. I can initialize the database I want to import in and it seems to work fine. However, we have a lot of users that do not get imported in due a syntax error on certain attributes because they are blank. Example:  We have an attribute called Title which was never required so many of the users have it blank. These error on import.  Is there a way to get the 389 server to disregard that and load the user anyway? Basically we want to pull everything in even if the fields are blank.

Ideally you could write a script to strip those empty attributes from the LDIF. 

Otherwise you can turn off schema checking (syntax checking might also need to be disabled)

cn=config
nsslapd-schemacheck: off
nsslapd-syntaxcheck: off

Use ldapmodify to set these attributes (same as Sun DS), and stop the server before you import.  After the import completes you should turn these settings back "on".
