Re: AW: script for adding users information in ldap database

I have a question along similar lines. We use Uportal and Moodle and I want to set up an LDAP server for those applications to authenticate users. I want to take the users in the Uportal MySQL database and migrate them to an LDIF file. Has anyone done this? I am assuming I will have to write some sort of script to create the LDIF file. Does anyone have an example of a script that does something similar? Anything that involves getting data out of a MySQL database and creating an LDIF file with it would be really helpful.

This should give you an idea:

But it's syncing from mySQL to OpenLDAP via LDAP. And there's no data sanitizing at all.
