[389-users] "Researching" ldif changes

[Gerrard Geldenhuis]

Hi
I was hoping someone can share a methodology of finding the ldif changes that happens when doing changes in the GUI. I would like to create equivalent ldif files for all changes that I do in the GUI. Thus far I have been doing before and after diffs of dse.ldif. I have not done that yet for netscaperoot. Is there any logic with regards to which settings gets stored in which database.

As an example I have used this page:
http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Howto:SSL#Verify_SSL_is_enabled
to assist with ldif'ing ssl settings but what bothers me is that a comparison between dse.ldif with the ldif applied to enable ssl from the howto page and a dse.ldif with ssl enabled via the gui differs significantly. I am not referring to timestamp differences but to additional fields that gets added when enabling SSL via the GUI. Specifically for this example I have not been able to find where "Use SSL in Console" should be set and thus can't include it in my ldif file

Best Regards
