NAME¶
confdb2ldif - Create an LDIF file from a cluster configuration
SYNOPSIS¶
confdb2ldap <basedn> [<config object base>]
DESCRIPTION¶
confdb2ldif reads the cluster configuration from the openais object
database and generates an LDIF file suitable for importing into an LDAP
database. The LDIF file is written to standard output.
OPTIONS¶
- <basedn>
- This is the base DN of the LDAP server into which the
configuration will be imported. confdb2ldif will create a
"cn=cluster" object below this to contain the cluster
configuration. The base DN is usually derived from the host's domain name.
So if the host is ldapsrv.mycorp.com then the base DN could be
dc=mycorp,dc=com.
- [<config object base>]
- Configuration object in the objdb to start from. This
defaults to "cluster" and there should rarely be any need to
change it.
confdb2ldif uses the openais libconfdb to read the configuration. The
default way to do this is run against a running aisexec to read the live
configuration. It is possible to generate an LDIF file from a non-running
system by using the standalone feature of openais's libconfdb.
eg to read the configuration from /etc/cluster/cluster.conf, use the following
command:
OPENAIS_DEFAULT_CONFIG_IFACE=xmlconfig:cmanpreconfig confdb2ldif dc=mycompany,dc=com
or to do it from CCS
OPENAIS_DEFAULT_CONFIG_IFACE=ccsconfig:cmanpreconfig confdb2ldif dc=mycompany,dc=com
The LDIF file is written to stdout and so can be saved or piped straight into
ldapmodify if required.
It's important that the 99cluster.ldif schema file has been loaded into the LDAP
server before adding the contents of this generated LDIF file.
EXAMPLE¶
confdb2ldif dc=mycorp,dc=com | ldapmodify -x -a -D"cn=Directory Manager" -c -v -W
BUGS¶
confdb2ldif parses the cluster configuration without checking it against
the loaded schema. So if there are attributes in the config file that are not
known to the schema, parts of the load will fail. It is important to check the
results of feeding the output into ldapmodify. In particular aisexec logging
operations will not convert into LDIF because they rely on duplicate keys.
