NIS - LDAP Migration

[Ranjith_5]

Hi experts,

I am trying to setup an LDAP server for a small network. The purpose is only to manage around 50 users & password and name resolution for limited number of hosts( near about 100 hosts).

My nis server is ready and working. How do I migrate to LDAP now to server the above mentioned purposes. If any one can help me by giving a complete procedure for this, it will be really great.

Waiting to hear from you all.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Syam

See if you can connect to your directory server using one of the provided ldap tools: ldapsearch

ldapsearch -h -p -b "" -s base "(objectclass=top)"

Hello Syam and all LDAP experts,

I'm in a similar situation trying to migrate my NIS data to a newly installed Netscape LDAP server. I am inexperienced when it comes to LDAP. So I just installed the software, not knowing what to do to enable it. I then installed the LDAP-UX software and I am trying to execute the migration script "migrate_all_nis_online.sh". It creates a "/tmp/nis.3787.ldif" but when it tries to import it into LDAP I get this error:

Importing into LDAP...
ldap_simple_bind: Can't connect to the LDAP server - Connection refused
/opt/ldapux/bin/ldapmodify -a -c: returned error 91
Your new ldif database file exists in: /tmp/nis.3787.ldif

This looks like the error Syam got. It seems to be related to the LDAP server. I don't have the slapd daemon running. Do I need this? How do I start it? Does LDAP server need to be configured somewhat before I run LDAP-UX migration?

Any input will help. Thanks!

Hi Rikk,

It is better to start a new thread for you to get a better response as you cant control this thread...

Syam, Is your LDAP server runing and accepting client connections ? Please make sure it runs.
Are you using OpenLDAP or Netscape directory server ?
