Fedora directory users - Apr 2006 - Moving All Users to FDS

Dear all,

 

I want to migrate all my users (about 10000) from OpenLDAP to FDS. The
problem is that I need to add a couple of fields to each user and set a
default value for these fields!

 

Is there a way to do that?

 

Regards,

Abdelrahman

There are three ways to do that.

1. Migrate the users, then add the attributes via ldap - slow
2. Write a script to directly modify the entries on your migration LDIF 
- posibly less slow, but you have to write the script
3. Use the FDS Class of Service feature to add the attribute values - 
fast, requires you to create two CoS configuration entries and all users 
instantly have the default values.  See here
