If you include '-o ldif_wrap=no' that should prevent the line wrapping and will make the subsequent regex replace straightforward to do with tools such as sed. Check out the man page for slapcat if you need more detail.

Hello dear community,

I have to migrate our ldap database from OpenLDAP (from 2019 version hosted on Debian, to Symas OpenLDAP 2.4.59 on ). I need to change our DN from "dc=lexp,dc=fr" to "dc=directory,dc=lan-explore,dc=fr".

I installed OpenLDAP and configure directory with new DN.

For data migration, I exported data: slapcat -b dc=lexp,dc=fr > /tmp/20230616_save_data.ldif

.. and for recovery, I changed all dn mentions from old to new dn.

1. Is the correct way? When import, you can see error message: slapadd: slap_init invalid suffix ("dc=directory,dc=lan-explore,dc=fr ") 2. When searching, I discovered that each line can contains 77 columns. Next, line is truncated, and it's difficult to replace all dn.

Thanks,

Jean-Luc
