Hello ! My network infrastructure uses some special database not compatible with LDAP. But I need an OpenLDAP server to administer my Web Services accounts on my DMZ.
So I have written a script to export our "special" database to an LDIF file. This works pretty well. I've successfully loaded it on my OpenLDAP server. But now I don't know how to update my OpenLDAP database from the new generated LDIF files (when users are added, updated or removed) without disturbing the whole LDAP service (it's not a very good idea to delete the entire database and recreate it from the new LDIF file as it stop the service completely during the operation). Is there a way to update an OpenLDAP database to fit a new given LDIF file ? -> Updating/deleting the OUs -> Deleting the objects that are not present. -> Deleting the attributes removed. -> Updating the attributes that have changed without deleting the object. Doing this step by step to disturb as little as possible the OpenLDAP service. Thanks for the help. Regards, Baptiste.
