Export ldap to ldif in Zimbra 6

[openlog]

Hello world !

I'm spending all my time since 2 weeks trying to export my dlap to an ldif file.

I tried to do like this :

# su zimbra
zimbra@mail:/root$ /opt/zimbra/openldap-2.4.23.2z/sbin/slapcat -f /opt/zimbra/openldap-2.4.23.2z/etc/openldap/slapd.conf -l /tmp/ldap.ldif

but it return :

Unrecognized database type (bdb)
/opt/zimbra/openldap-2.4.23.2z/etc/openldap/slapd.conf: line 53: <database> failed init (bdb)
slapcat: bad configuration file!

I supose it's because this method is not more available in zimbra 6.
I really need an ldif export.

Can you help me ?

Perhaps if you gave some details about what you're trying to achieve someone may be able to advise you.

For a single user:

su - zimbra
cd /tmp
source ~/bin/zmshutil ; zmsetvars
ldapsearch -x -H ldap://$ldap_host -D "$zimbra_ldap_userdn" -w "$zimbra_ldap_password" "(mail=user@mydomain.com)" | sed -e '/# search result/,$ d' > user.ldif

Change:

user@mydomain.com to the user for whom you want the ldif
user.ldif to whatever_you_want.ldif

If you want all users in a single ldif, replace the ldapsearch command above with

 ldapsearch -x -H ldap://$ldap_host -D "$zimbra_ldap_userdn" -w  "$zimbra_ldap_password" | sed -e '/# search  result/,$ d' > user.ldif

i.e. remove the "(mail=user@mydomain.com)" filter.

su - zimbra

ldapsearch -x -v -H ldap://zimbra-ldap.example.com -b 'ou=people,dc=domain,dc=com' -D 'uid=zimbra,cn=admins,cn=zimbra' -W

it will ask you password for ldap root dn.

enjoy !!

The advantage of the source & zmsetvars commands...
source ~/bin/zmshutil ; zmsetvars
is that you don't need to remember or look up the ldap root dn or root dn password. The values you need become environment variables.
