MigrationTools

Migrate a machine's NSS configuration to LDAP

This code is forked from the MigrationTools sources found here.

These tools have been rewritten for modern Perl conventions. Older technologies that cannot be tested against have been removed, specifically NIS+ and NetInfo.

Additionally, offline support has been removed, as ldif2ldbm is no longer part of the OpenLDAP releases.

THIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OR SUPPORT.

These tools are freely redistributable according to the license included with the source files. They may be bundled with LDAP/NIS migration products. See RFC 2307 for more information.

Requirements

These tools require a UNIX or UNIX-like host to run on, and must have the following tools installed to run correctly:

• Perl, version 5.24 or greater
• The following Perl Modules:
  • Net::Domain::TLD
  • File::Basename
  • Getopt::Long
  • Exporter
• OpenLDAP tools

You need perl to run these.

Edit the ini file in the root of the sources change the following site-specific variables to reflect your installation:

• mail_domain
• basedn

Then run the tools on each of your /etc database files, eg. to migrate protocols you might do:

./migrate_protocols.pl /etc/protocols protocols.ldif

where the first argument is the input file and the last argument is the output file. You then can concatenate all your output files together and load that into your LDAP database with an online or offline import tool (such as ldapadd and slapadd, respectively).

The following table will tell you which migration shell script to use:

Script	Existing nameservice
migrate_all_online.sh	/etc flat files
migrate_all_nis_online.sh	Sun NIS/YP

The online scripts use ldapadd.
