Fedora directory users - Nov 2009 - [389-users] Easy way to add an object class value to all users

Hi Everyone,

Is there an easy way to add an object class value to all the users in my 
389 Directory Server?

Thank you,

I''d say yes. But what "easy" means to you depends on your
skills.

You could generate a LDIF file containing change records for all your entries.
Or even better use your favourite scripting language to do the modifications
with the help of a decent LDAP module.

Ciao, Michael.

It''s not that hard.

Depending on the schema you might have to add some attributes too...
