LDAP Data Interchange Format (LDIF) is a draft Internet standard for dumping the contents of an LDAP directory tree to a plain text file. Using a suitable LDIF utility, it is possible to export the contents of a directory tree or subtree to a file and then re-import the directory tree at a later time. Alternatively, you can use an LDIF file to recreate a directory tree in a different directory server instance.
To recreate the directory tree for the LDAP tutorial, perform the following steps in Apache Directory Studio:
Copy the contents of the LDIF from Example B.1 and paste into a text file,
activemq.ldif, in any convenient location.![[Important]](imagesdb/important.gif)
Important Make sure to include a blank line at the end of the file, otherwise Apache Directory Studio will throw an error as it tries to read the last record.
Ensure that the X.500 directory server is running.
Start up Apache Directory Studio and open a connection to the directory server.
In the LDAP Browser view, expand the
DITnode. Right-click on theRoot DSEnode and select |.
The LDIF Import dialog appears. In the
LDIF Filefield, enter the location of the LDIF file to import or use the Browse button. Click Finish.
Example B.1 gives the complete LDIF for recreating the directory tree of the LDAP tutorial.
