migration of mailboxes & LDAP data

[adeelarifbhatti]

hi all,
I am planing for the migration of mailbox data from sun java communication suite 5.
I have seen the migration links for zimbra, however i have not yet find any right way for it.My question is how i can transfer the format of mailbox from comm suite to zimbra? Is there any command through which i can reconstruct the mailboxes?
More over the LDAP data was stored in sun java directory server earlier,
Is there any way of importing user from the LDAp.diff file, if not that any way for modifying the user's password with the hash for the password as same as earlier stored.

What do you suggest me regarding the migration,


Best regards
Adeel

If you are interested in a perl migration script that will convert iplanet messaging 5.2's Personal Address Book to a form that will allow you to import it into zimbra, pm me.

Hi all,
And thanks for the help provided,
But i am still confused and looking for the stuff which can help me.
###########################
Regarding LDAP (sun java directory Server)
I have an file named ldap.ldif
which contains the user ID,passwords in encrypted form and all the attributes.
How i can import the data in to the zimbra LDAP server, moreover i am unable to find the same kind of file in the Zimbra LDAP server.There is a file in the zimbra LDAP but the users i have created are not present in that file.
################################
Regarding MailBox Data(Sun Java Messaging Server)
How can i migrate the Mailbox data in to the zimbra format,
I think, for migration following thing is to planed,
1- Creation or importing the users
2- Placing the HASH password for every user from the previous LDAP server (This is to be done if users have been created and not imported).
3- Login the User, and when the mail box is created on the file level for that user, copy the mailbox from sun java messaging server to Zimbra (But the format of the mailbox have to be changed so that zimbra supports it)

Please Suggest me, Thanks in Advance\

The import would be something you need to script. Map the attributes and values of your ldif file to the zmprov equivalent.

One suggestion might be to do something like this:

1. cycle through your ldif file picking out mail, givenname, cn, sn and userpassword.
2. Map them to the equivalent zimbra attributes.

givenname => firstName
cn => displayName
sn => lastName

3. generate the zmprov commands and save them to a file.

ca mail@host.com {ssha}asdlkfgj234 displayName 'Jim Norton' firstName Jim lastName Norton

4. import your users.
zmprov < commands.zmp

The message store for Sun and Zimbra are different. You are not going to be able to cp them from one file system to another. imapsync has been the recommended method, although it can be slow.
