Migrating User-Defined Maps
The LDAP directory has a special object class, nisMap, which is used to
store user-defined (non-standard) maps. The
migrate_nisp_nonstard.pl migration script migrates user-defined
maps to LDIF file using nisMap as the object class and storing the name
of user-defined map to the nisMapName location.
In order to properly support NIS+ and NIS clients during a migration
period, these non-standard maps must be migrated to the directory.
However, non-standard maps are generally used to support legacy NIS or
NIS+ applications. Migration to LDAP should involve migration of these
applications to support LDAP, as well as translation of the dependent
non-standard maps to native LDAP schemas. This type of migration
generally requires involvment of expert LDAP consultants.
Examples
The following command migrates NIS+ service data into the LDAP
directory in one operation:
export LDAP_BASEDN=”dc=cup,dc=hp,dc=com”
export DOM_ENV=”cup.hp.com”
