I'm not sure it this is the correct location to ask these questions, but ... In the past when I worked for a living the place where I worked had thousands of RHEL Linux servers on various hardware, but the access was controlled by Windows Active Directory and a third party piece of software that was the middle-man between the 2. Now that I no longer work I'm trying to build a CentOS Linux environment where the access is controlled by 389-Directory Server. But I have no practical experience with 389-Directory Server (Question 1) so I'm looking for a tutorial or 'How To' to put information into 389-DS from a machine that is currently running? (Question 2) Can I export the 389-DS database to a LDIF file, migrate my machine from CentOS 6 to CentOS 7 by doing a fresh CentOS 7 install. Install 389-DS and import the just created LDIF file?? I want to use 389-DS (or OpenLDAP) because as my environment grows defining everything locally is becoming hard to be exact. Any comments will be helpful TIA -- Eugene Poole Woodstock, Georgia
