ldif − LDAP Data Interchange Format
The LDAP Data Interchange Format (LDIF) is used to represent LDAP entries in text form. The ldif2ldbm(8) tools can be used to convert from LDIF format to the LDBM format used by slapd(8). The ldbmcat(8) tool can be used to do the reverse conversion. See "The SLAPD and SLURPD Administrator’s Guide" for more information on this format and the conversion tools.
The basic form of an LDIF entry is:
|
[<id>] | ||
|
dn: <distinguished name> | ||
|
<attrtype>: <attrvalue> | ||
|
<attrtype>: <attrvalue> | ||
|
... |
where <id> is the optional entry ID (a positive decimal number). Normally, you would not supply the <id>, allowing the database creation tools to do that for you. The ldbmcat(8) program, however, produces an LDIF format that includes <id> so that new indexes created will be consistent with the existing database. A line may be continued by starting the next line with a single space or tab character, e.g.,
|
dn: cn=Barbara J Jensen, o=University of Michi | |
|
gan, c=US |
Multiple attribute values are specified on separate lines, e.g.,
|
cn: Barbara J Jensen | |
|
cn: Babs Jensen |
If an <attrvalue> contains a non-printing character, or begins with a space or a colon ’:’, the <attrtype> is followed by a double colon and the value is encoded in base 64 notation. e.g., the value " begins with a space" would be encoded like this:
|
cn:: IGJlZ2lucyB3aXRoIGEgc3BhY2U= |
Multiple entries within the same LDIF file are separated by blank lines.
Here is an example of an LDIF file containing three entries.
|
dn: cn=Barbara J Jensen, o=University of Michi | |
|
gan, c=US | |
|
cn: Barbara J Jensen | |
|
cn: Babs Jensen | |
|
objectclass: person | |
|
sn: Jensen | |
|
dn: cn=Bjorn J Jensen, o=University of Michi | |
|
gan, c=US | |
|
cn: Bjorn J Jensen | |
|
cn: Bjorn Jensen | |
|
objectclass: person | |
|
sn: Jensen | |
|
dn: cn=Jennifer J Jensen, o=University of Michi | |
|
gan, c=US | |
|
cn: Jennifer J Jensen | |
|
cn: Jennifer Jensen | |
|
objectclass: person | |
|
sn: Jensen | |
