LDIF conversion.

[TheMisio]

Dear All,

Does anyone know a tool to convert CSV to LDIF and vice versa?
I need to edit some attributes of around 5000 users. I can get CSV to excel and edit the attributes, but it’s harder to convert back to LDIF.

Is there a tool to allow edit LDIFDE generated files in a similar way to Excel?

Amy help appreciated.

Regards,

Michael

I don't know of any pre-built tools that will perform this function.

If you have some experience with VBScript or Perl, that's probably the easiest way to deal with the conversion.

One of the biggest problems you'll run into with an LDIF import is that you must know the current state of the attribute you are changing. The syntax is different depending on whether or not the attribute is empty.
