I don't see any description in the admin guide about how to convert a *.schema file into a *.ldif file. Google tells me that most people are using slaptest with the -F and -f parameters with a specially crafted slapd.conf file.
As the person who is responsible for a *.schema file and develops it not on a machine that has the openldap server software installed, that process is not anything I'm interested in. Looks like it should be a fairly simple set of transformations. Looking at the *.schema and *.ldif that are provided with the openldap source - I am left wondering how they were created, since they have comments, they were obviously not created via the slaptest -F <x> -f <y> method. I would like to programatically do this -- my ability to vi two files and make identical changes has been known to be fallable! I found the fusiondirectory-schema2ldif perl script - but it is not complete and silently drops keywords it doesn't like which is a really nasty coding style generating garbage from quality schemas. Suggestions? Code examples? Thanks, -- Frank Swasey | http://www.uvm.edu/~fcs Sr Systems Administrator | Always remember: You are UNIQUE, University of Vermont | just like everyone else.
