Hi
thanks. Yes, after sending my message I got to thinking I could use some form of ldapearch. Thanks, I got my LDIF files now. Now I am just having a hard time getting it imported because of logical problems (not syntax or usage)

thanks

Subject: how to migrate from v1 to v2 using LDIF?


Hi All

I have an OpenLDAP v1 database I would like to migrate to OpenLDAP v2.
I would like to do it via LDIF since I need to go in and change some of
the attribute names for my v2 database.  I saw in the Faq-o-matic the
slapcat command.  Unfortunatelty, that seems to be a V2 command only, as
it does not exist on my v1 db system.  What is the  best way to go about
doing this?

Thanks
Chad
