[Fedora-directory-users] (no subject)

[Steve Saady]

I am trying to migrate from OpenLDAP to Fedora-DS.  The LDAPImport utility seems like the
fastest and easiest way to do it. Unfortunately, for me, it fails.  At the command line,
it reports:
"Can't call method "get_value" on an undefined value at 
LdapConnectionManager.pm line 486, <STDIN> line 9."

The log file reports: 
"LdapConnectionManager: Currently connected -- searching."

TCPdump, indicates that the base DN of my search is null.  I do not
think this is relative, but when the script asks for the "email domain",
suggesting "netscaperoot", is that my normal e-mail domain?  The example
confuses me.  Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. 

Which brings me to my current dilemma... Unable to use LDAPImport, I try
the  ol-schema-migrate.pl script, re-dir to a new file (i.e.,
perl ./ol-schema-migrate.pl inetorgperson.schema >
XXinetorgperson.ldif).  What should I call those resulting files?  I
assume I should call them *.ldif, but how do I determine what numeric
prefix to give them?  The highest numbers I have currently are 60
(60pam-plugin.ldif), and then 99 (99user.ldif).  Should I just number
mine counting up from 61?

I haven't looked at the script, but it sounds like it first does a 
search like this:
ldapsearch -s base -b "" objectclass=* namingContexts
to get a list of naming contexts on your server.  When you setup Fedora 
DS, it should have created a suffix like
dc=host,dc=domain,dc=tld
You should probably use this one for your e-mail suffix, or domain.tld 
for your e-mail domain.  NetscapeRoot is only used for internal 
operations (console, admin server) - it's not meant to be used by other 
applications.

You should not need to migrate standard schema files like 
inetorgperson.schema or core.schema - Fedora DS should already have 
those - unless you modified those schema files (but you wouldn't do 
that).  You should only have to migrate things like samba.schema (which 
is not yet included with Fedora DS) or custom schema.

Send me some more information on this, including what you have
input to the various questions asked by LdapImport up to that
point.

Send to del(a)babel.com.au rather than the list.
