8.3 Migrating from OpenLDAP to Novell
eDirectory
• Section 8.3.1, “Prerequisites,” on page 54
• Section 8.3.2, “Migrating the OpenLDAP Schema to eDirectory,” on page 54
• Section 8.3.3, “Migrating the Open LDAP Data to Novell eDirectory,” on page 55
• Section 8.3.4, “Making PAM Work with Novell eDirectory After Migration,” on page 55
8.3.1 Prerequisites
The data that is migrated from an OpenLDAP server can have MD5 passwords, which may cause
the applications to break if the appropriate NMAS methods are not installed. The NMAS method,
SimplePassword, needs to be installed for the Novell eDirectory using the command as below:
nmasinst -addmethod admin_context treename configfile -h
Hostname:port-w password
Example: nmasinst -addmethod admin.novell eDir-Tree /Linux/eDirectory/nmas/NmasMethods/
Novell/SimplePassword/config.txt -h eDir_srv:524 -w secret
8.3.2 Migrating the OpenLDAP Schema to eDirectory
To migrate the OpenLDAP schema to eDirectory, complete the following steps:
• “Step 1: Perform the Schema Cache Update Operation” on page 54
• “Step 2: Rectify the Error LDIF File to Eliminate the Errors” on page 55
Step 1: Perform the Schema Cache Update Operation
You can write the errors encountered while comparing the schema to an error file using the
following command:
ice -e error_file -C -a -S ldap -s OpenLDAP_server -p Open_LDAP_port - D ldap -s
eDirectory_server -p eDirectory_port -d eDirectory_full_admin_context -w
eDirectory_password
For example:
ice -e err.ldf -C -a -SLDAP -s open_srv1 -p open_port1 -DLDAP -s edir_srv2 -p
edir_port2 -d cn=admin,o=novell -w secret
