RE: Anyone have an openldap 2.0.3 ldif example?
>This may take weeks before you spotted them all.
might try loading the ldif file in VIM editor (www.vim.org) and trying
something like:
:g/\"dc=mydomain, dc=com\" into \"o=myorg, c=US\"/s//\"dc=mynewdomain,
dc=com into \"o=myneworg, c=US\"/g
please make backup before attempting this, the exact syntax may take a
little tuning.

1. Export to an LDIF file.
2. Exit slapd
3. Remove the database
4. Change all instances of "dc=mydomain, dc=com" into "o=myorg, c=US"
5. Start slapd
6. Import the database with slapdadd
Downtime will depend on the size of the database. But you fill propably
find that it will take much more time to change all those other spots
where you are referring to "dc=mydomain, dc=com" now into "o=myorg, c=US".
This may take weeks before you spotted them all.
