15.10.3 Migrate Your Old Authentication Information to
LDAP Format
The /usr/share/openldap/migration directory contains a set of shell and Perl scripts for
migrating your old authentication information into LDAP format. (You must have Perl installed on
your system to use these scripts.)
First, you'll need to modify the migrate_common.ph file so that it reflects your domain. The
default DNS domain should be changed from:
$DEFAULT_MAIL_DOMAIN = "padl.com";
to something like:
$DEFAULT_MAIL_DOMAIN = " your_company.com ";
The default base should also be changed, from:
$DEFAULT_BASE = "dc=padl,dc=com";
to something like:
$DEFAULT_BASE = "dc= your_company ,dc= com ";
Next, you'll need to decide which script to use. The following table may help you:
