Based on that output it looks like you're running the one-liners on the Solaris box. You'll instead want to run them on the Ubuntu box, I suspect you'll have much better luck with the syntax errors you're seeing.

Hi Clément,

Thanks for your kind reply. I agree with you , that this migration is not a one day project. I've spent almost one week to do this but could not able to, hence the mailing list :)

I've tried using the one liners listed in the page you have mentioned , but there are lots of errors for while executing all of them. e.g.

bash-2.05# grep -Eo 'SYNTAX ([0-9]|.)+' schema.ldif | sort | uniq -c grep: illegal option -- E grep: illegal option -- o Usage: grep -hblcnsviw pattern file . . .

I know this is just simple grep problem but there is a chain for awk and other simple utilities on these boxes. If you can help me here that will be really great :)

Hi ,

...

We are migrating our infrastructure from Sun Solaris to AWS. So as a part of migration we need to do the transition from Sun Directory Server to OpenLDAP.

I exported the user database in ldif file from Sun LDAP. Now I am trying to import the database in to OpenLDAP Server on Ubuntu which I've installed in AWS. While importing the database I am getting a lots of error , because the sun schema for storing the users and openldap is totally different.

The issue I'm currently stuck on is getting the data in the LDIF into a format that can be imported using slapadd/ldapadd

Any help would be appreciated

Below are the details for Ubuntu Server and OpenLDAP

Server OS :

Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Release: 10.04

OpenLDAP Version :

*slapd 2.4.21-0ubuntu5.7 OpenLDAP server (slapd)*

Hi,

migrate from SUN to OpenLDAP is not a one day project, you have to study a lot of things like: schema, ACI, plugins, data, etc.

You can find some tips here: http://www.linid.org/projects/openldap-manager/wiki/MigrationSunOracle

I often use the convertldif.pl script to migrate data from SUN to OpenLDAP, see http://tools.ltb-project.org/projects/ltb/repository/entry/ldap-scripts/trun...

Clément.
