Creating LDAP Server Migration

1) In the source server, backup the DB with the command

slapcat > respaldo.raw

2) Eliminate the structural components from the backup file

egrep -v  "^(structuralObjectClass|entryUUID|creatorsName|modifiersName|createTimestamp|modifyTimestamp|entryCSN):" respaldo.raw > respaldo

3) Copy the backup file to the destination server

4) Restore the DB with the command

ldapadd -x -D "cn=someuser,dc=somedc,dc=edu,dc=co" -W -f respaldo

NOTE: It's assumed that the administrative user is cn=someuser,dc=somedc,dc=edu,dc=co
