This LDIF file is composed of the following parts:<br />

Component<br />

Version Specifier<br />

Description<br />

The first line of an LDIF file contains the version. Zero or more<br />

spaces are allowed between the colon and the version number,<br />

which is currently defined to be 1.<br />

If the version line is missing, any application processing the LDIF<br />

file is allowed to assume that the file is version 0. It’s also possible<br />

that the LDIF file could be rejected as syntactically incorrect.<br />

<strong>Novell</strong> utilities that process LDIF assume a file version of 0 when<br />

the version line is missing.<br />

Distinguished Name Specifier<br />

The first line of every content record (lines 2, 6, 11, and 16 in the<br />

example above) specifies the DN of the entry that it represents.<br />

The DN specifier must take one of the following two forms:<br />

• dn: safe_UTF-8_distinguished_name<br />

• dn:: Base64_encoded_distinguished_name<br />

Line Delimiters<br />

The line separator can be either a line feed or a carriage return/line<br />

feed pair. This resolves a common incompatibility between Linux<br />

and Solaris text files, which use a line feed as the line separator,<br />

and MS-DOS* and Windows text files, which use a carriage return/<br />

line feed pair as the line separator.<br />
