Thanks Quanah for a quick reply.

The old LINUX 6.2 server running openldap 1.2 is not operational, but all the old files (/etc/openldap, /usr/share/openldap (database) are available on a new LINUX server running Red hat Enterprise Linux 4. How can I export openldap data from old files sitting on this new Linux server.? I believe the slapcat command is only recognizes openldap 2.x databases.

Is there any other way of exporting data from old openldap 1.2 version data files using a latest version of openldap tools.

Please advice.

Regards,

Please respond.

The method for moving from one version of OpenLDAP to another (and this is pretty consistent with all directory servers) is to use LDIF. In openldap, you'd generate the LDIF file for export from your old server using the slapcat command. Since you no longer have a running server, I'm not quite sure how you expect to proceed on any of this. I wish you luck.
