Import Name Service Data into Your Directory

The next step is to import your user, group and other services data into your Active Directory. Here are some considerations when planning this:

If you have already imported data into your Active directory with the SFU 2.0 Server for NIS migration tool, LDAP-UX Client Services can use that data and you can skip to “Configure the LDAP-UX Client Services”.
If you are using NIS, the LDAP-UX migration scripts take your NIS maps and generate LDIF files. These scripts can then import the LDIF files into your directory, creating new entries in the directory.
If you are not using NIS, the LDAP-UX migration scripts can take your user, group, and other data from files, generate LDIF, and import the LDIF into your directory to work with SFU version 2.0.
If you integrate the name service data into your directory, the migration scripts may be helpful depending on where you put the data in your directory. You could use them just to generate LDIF, edit the LDIF, then import the LDIF into your directory. For example, you could manually add the msSFUAccount attributes to your existing entries under CN=Users and add their HP-UX information there. The LDAP-UX
CAUTION: migration scripts generate LDIF files that only work with SFU version 2.0.

Here are the steps to importing your user, group, and other services data into your LDAP directory. Modify them as needed.

Decide which migration method and scripts you will use.
Migration scripts are provided to ease the task of importing your existing name service data into your Active directory. See "Name Service Migration Scripts" in Chapter 5 for a complete description of the scripts, what they do, and how to use them. Modify the migration scripts, if needed.
Back up your directory.
Run the migration scripts, using the worksheet in Appendix A.
If the method you used above did not already import your data, use ldapmodify to import the LDIF file into your directory.
