Directory Server Migration

Hi,

We want to migrate our running directory server to a new server.My query is :

- My present setup has a directory structure :

o=abc.com,dc=xyz,dc=net.

- My future setup to be

o=abc.com,dc=def,dc=net

Plz advice how this can be done.

TIA

Nawaz

Basically:

- Export your current database to ldif (db2ldif is probably the best method if you're using Sun's directory server).

- Replace all "dc=xyz," instances with "dc=def," in the exported ldif. Perhaps a few "dc: xyz" --> "dc: def" also.

- Create a database on your new directory server using your preferred suffix.

- Import the ldif.

Of course, all your directory clients will also need to have their configuration updated to use the new base DN.
