Hi,

We are trying into migrate from Active Directory to Open LDAP. But, we getting problems with Schema Attributes. Can any one help us in this ?

I haven't worked with AD in a number of years, but I did do a large-scale migration to OpenLDAP this summer.

You have esentially two choices. 1. Write a schema that supports the AD attributes in OpenLDAP. 2. Write a script that converts the AD attributes to those used in the standard OpenLDAP schemas. This is the route I took and my script ended up being many hundreds of lines (in perl) and requires extensive testing, as even the smallest mistake can prevent the data from getting loaded.
