Hi!
I'm working on a program that "mangles" existing LDIF files so that the LDAP server accepts them. So say 75% passed, 25% had errors (need additional fixes).
I'm using ldapadd with "-c" (continue) and "-S skipped.ldif" (skipped entries) to add the input LDIF.
The idea was to iterate over skipped.ldif until the file is empty, i.e.: make skipped.ldif the new input file for the next run of ldapadd. However "skipped.ldif" also contains entries that were skipped, because they had been imported (successfully) before ("ldap_add: Already exists (68)").
Is there an easy way to extract only those entries that were not added?
Of course I could write a program that implements that logic, talking to the LDAP server directly, but if avoidable I'd save the time to write such a program.
