3. Directory import LDIF dialog

This will import a LDIF formatted file to a new database. It will work from the Communicator addressbook export function. Usage:

• First, select a name for your directory, like "contacts"
• Open the addressbook you will export in Communicator.
• From the filemenu, select Export, and select "ldif" format as filetype (in linux there is no choice).
• Name it contacts.db.conf.ldif and export it.
• Move it to the /tmp directory.
• Now start ldapconf, and goto the directory select menu.
• Select the Add button.
• In the input box, call it "contacts".
• Configure it:
• Type: ldbm
• Name: contacts.
• Base: dc=contacts.
• Root: cn=manager,dc=contacts.
• Pass: some secret.
• Directory: /var/ldap/contacts (This must be created manually!)
• Remember to enable the database! (with checkbox)
• Exit the dialog with the OK button.
• Select Import
• All filenames should be correct. The check buttons ON.
• Import.
• Restart the ldap server (from the controlpanel).
• To test it, set a client to use "dc=contacts" as base.
• Hopefully you may search on names, emails or *.
