DESCRIPTION

       Migrate from OpenLDAP to 389 Directory Server.

       This  command  automates  the  process of converting an OpenLDAP server to a 389 Directory
       Server
       instance. This is a "best effort" as OpenLDAP and 389 Directory Server are not identical,
       so some features still may require hand migration, or can not be  migrated  at  all.  This
       tool
       intends   to  migrate  the  majority  of  major  content  such  as  database  data,  index
       configuration,
       schema and some overlays (plugins).

       Content we can migrate:

       * Schema
       * Database content (from ldif backup)
       * Database indexes
       * MemberOf Overlay (memberof)
       * Referential Integrity Overlay (refint)
       * Attribute Unique Overlay (unique)

       Some content that can *not* be migrated include some overlays (plugins), access controls
       and replication configuration. Examples of plugins that can not be migrated:

       * Access/Audit logging (built into 389-ds by default)
       * Chaining (Requires manual migration, may not be equivalent)
       * Constraints (No equivalent plugin)
       * Dynamic Directory Services (Requires manual migration to Class of Service Plugin)
       * Dynamic Groups/Lists (Requires manual migration to Roles Plugin)
       * Proxy Cache (No equivalent plugin, 389-ds supports read-only replicas)
       * Password Policy (Built into 389-ds, requires manual migration)
       * Rewrite/Remap (No equivalent plugin)
       * Sync Provider (Requires manual migration to Replication OR Content Sync Plugin)
       * Value Sorting (No equivalent plugin)

       This must be run on  the  server  running  the  389  Directory  Instance  as  it  requires
       filesystem
       access. You must run this tool as either root or dirsrv users.

       The following is required from your openldap instance:

         * slapd.d configuration directory in ldif/dynamic format
         * (optional) ldif file backup of the database from slapcat

       These can be created on the OpenLDAP host and copied to the 389 Directory Server host. No
       destructive actions are applied to the OpenLDAP instance.

       If you are already using the ldif/dynamic format from /etc/openldap/slapd.d, you should
       take a copy of this to use in the migration.

           cp -a /etc/openldap/slapd.d /root/slapd.d

       If you are using the slapd.conf configuration file, you can convert this to the dynamic
       configuration without affecting your running instance with:

           slaptest -f /etc/openldap/slapd.conf -F /root/slapd.d

       To  optionally allow your database content to be migrated you may create an ldif backup of
       the
       content that 389 Directory Server can import. You must run this for each backend (suffix)
       of your instance with the command:

           # If using slapd.conf config format
           slapcat -f /etc/openldap/slapd.conf -b SUFFIX -l /root/suffix.ldif
           # If using slapd.d config format
           slapcat -F /etc/openldap/slapd.d -b SUFFIX -l /root/suffix.ldif

       You must already have a 389 Directory Server you want to import into. You can create
       this with the `dscreate` tool. Data and configuration in this instance WILL be
       modified or removed (ie potentially destructive actions).

       It is strongly advised you test this tool on a non-production system first to be
       sure the process and changes are understood.

       This only needs to be run on the first-instance in a 389 Directory Server topology. All
       other replicas should be configured from this instance post migration.

OPTIONS

       instance
              The name of the 389-ds instance to have openldap data migrated into

       slapd_config
              The path to the openldap slapd.d configuration that will be migrated

       slapd_ldif
              The path to exported database ldifs to be imported.

       -v, --verbose
              Display verbose operation tracing during command execution

       --confirm
              Confirm that you want to apply these migration actions to the 389-ds  instance.  By
              default no actions are taken.

       --ignore-overlay [IGNORE_OVERLAY ...]
              Ignore  the following openldap overlays from having their configuration migrated to
              equivalent 389-ds plugins. Valid options are memberof, refint, unique.

       --ignore-schema-oid [IGNORE_SCHEMA_OID ...]
              Ignore the following openldap schema attribute or class OIDS from being migrated to
              389-ds.  This  *may*  create inconsistent schema which could cause the migration to
              fail. Use with caution.

       --ignore-attribute [IGNORE_ATTRIBUTE ...]
              Ignore the following attributes from entries that are loaded  from  the  ldif.  For
              example, you may not want to import userPassword hashes.

       -D BINDDN, --binddn BINDDN
              The 389 Directory Server account to bind as for executing migration operations

       -w BINDPW, --bindpw BINDPW
              Password for binddn

       -W, --prompt
              Prompt for password for the bind DN

       -y PWDFILE, --pwdfile PWDFILE
              Specifies a file containing the password for the binddn

       -Z, --starttls
              Connect to 389 Directory Server with StartTLS
