samba - Nov 2013 - Copy additional LDAP attributes on migration from ldap

Hi all,

I noticed that only the basic openldap attributes were migrated using 
classicupgrade from ldap on samba4 (4.1) We're missing many things like 
'mail', 'givenName', 'jpegPhoto', etc.

I searched bugzilla, and found 
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9008

Does anyone know if this will be implemented any time soon? I'm guessing 
there are many networks like ours that use openldap for all kinds of 
stuff, and would like to slowly move towards samba4...?

(or are there ways to use samba4/openldap simultaneously that I do not 
know..?)

You can simply work around that. After the migration:

- Configure your openLDAP to listen on a different port than 389
- Start openLDAP again
- Write a simple script that loops through all accounts on your DC. 
Inside this loop you retrieve the required attributes of these accounts 
from openLDAP and insert them with ldbmodify to AD.
- Shutdown openLDAP

Sounds more difficult than it is. 15 mins and it's done, if you know a 
scripting language.
