💅 SCHEMA2LDIF(1) — like, the schema2ldif manual, but make it make sense 🎀

ok bestie, welcome to schema2ldif, part of the Schema2ldif Documentation situation. sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, and let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

schema2ldif — a whole tool for converting OpenLDAP-style schemas into the LDIF format. it's giving "translator, but for LDAP." 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

schema2ldif [options] [FILE] > file.ldif

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so here's the vibe: schema2ldif reads whatever input file you hand it and converts it into an LDIF file, which you can then insert straight into your LDAP directory. no cap. ✨

and if you don't provide FILE? it just reads from standard input instead. in that case, the cn option is mandatory — like, you have to give it one, bestie, it's not optional. 🙈

if you do give it a file though, it's chill: the name of the file (without the extension) gets used as the cn. easy. 💅

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -h, --help — prints a brief help message and then exits. iconic behaviour, honestly. 👑
  • -c, --cn=CN — use CN as the cn for the schema. mandatory if no file is provided. 🔥
  • -b, --branch=BRANCH — use BRANCH instead of cn=schema,cn=config. so you can reroute the whole thing, slay. 🌈
