migrate one ldap server to another - questions

842 views Asked by At

We have an existing Sun DS(6.3 version) in Solaris that we are planning to migrate to ODSEE in Linux and have couple of questions regarding the migration.

Based on readings, I think LDIF option is the best one, but the question is about the passwords. The passwords are in SSHA format and we would like to preserve the same passwords. If we do LDIF export/import, would that work? The users need to be able to use the same passwords. What are the things I need to do to make sure the passwords are migrated properly?

Thanks.

Yes, Sun Directory Server (all versions, including ODSEE) will import and preserve hashed passwords. The same is true for OpenDJ which was initially designed (as the OpenDS project) to replace Sun DSEE.
