CYRUSBDB2CURRENT(1)

✨ NAME ✨

cyrusbdb2current — bestie, it's a command-line utility that converts your SASLDB database out of BerkeleyDB and into the database format that sasldb is using these days 💅

(it's a Perl script, that's why it's chilling in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section, iykyk)

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

cyrusbdb2current <sasldb_old_path> <sasldb_new_path>

like. two paths. that's the whole vibe. 🦋

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so here's the tea, bestie ☕ — cyrusbdb2current takes your current sasldb database and converts it from the BerkeleyDB format to the database format that's currently in use. glow-up for your database, no cap ✨

🚨 STRONGLY RECOMMENDED: back up your current database BEFORE you run the conversion. like, please. make a copy. I am begging. it's giving "one wrong move and your auth data is gone" energy 😭

and the paths we're expecting in practice:

• the old one is /etc/sasldb2
• the new one is /etc/sasl2/sasldb2

those are the defaults the universe (and this doc) expects, so if you've got your files somewhere else, adjust accordingly 🫶

🌸 SEE ALSO 🌸

• saslpasswd2(8) — the icon, the legend 👑
• rfc4422 — Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL). yes it's a whole spec, go read it, it's literally the source of truth 📜

mwah 💋 that's the whole page! this one lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the manual, shipped alongside perl v5.30.3, dated 2021-04-28 — so if your man page footer is looking for CYRUSBDB2CURRENT(1), that's her, that's the girl 💖 go back up your database fr fr 🌈💀🦋
