Migrating from Enterprise Server 3.6
70 Installation and Migration Guide
Migrating the Administration Server
You can only migrate individual server instances. You cannot migrate your
administration server. After you have migrated your Enterprise Server instances,
you need to set up features such as distributed administration and clusters
again in your 4.1 Administration Server.
When you migrate an Enterprise Server instance, you have the option of
migrating user and group information, which spans multiple server instances.
Once you have migrated user and group information or set up your 4.1
environment, you do not need to migrate users and groups again. The user and
group information is in the /
server_root
/userdb/
server_name
.ldif
file.
You can also migrate keys and certificates.
Migrating User and Group Information
In Enterprise Server 3.6, you had the option of maintaining user and group
information in or in a local database or in a Directory Server.
Migrating from a Local Database
If you used a local database for your user and group information, follow these
steps:
1. During the migration process, choose to export your local database to an
LDIF file.
2. In your 4.x Directory Server, use the file ldif2ldap to add DN
information to your exported file. The ldif2ldap file is in your Directory
Server instance folder. To run it on Windows NT, type:
ldif2ldap.bat
filename
where filename is the name of the exported LDIF file.
On Unix, type:
./ldif2ldap
filename
