with a simple bash script you can do that
step 1) search ldap directory and extract the pair (dn,oldattr) (where dn is something like that "dn: uid=user,ou=people,dc(o)=domain,dc(c)=net" and oldattr is something like that "attribute: value"
step 2) foreach pair you run and ldapmodify -f file .... where file is something like that
dn: uid=user,ou=people,dc(o)=domain,dc(c)=net changetype: modify replace: oldattr - add: newattr newattr: value -
man ldapsearch + man ldapmodify

Dear List:
I use openldap 2.2.13 on RHEL and having 4000+ entries.
I have the following requirement.
- Add one attribute for all the records.
- Set a value to it, which is already set for another attribute of
the same record.
A SQL command of the following type would have done this job, if my data was in SQL.
update data set newattr=oldattr;
Is there any equivalent Openldap command, which can be used to do this.
