confdb2ldif8
Create an ldif file from a cluster configuration
Usage
confdb2ldap <basedn>
[<config
object
base>]
Overview
confdb2ldif reads the cluster configuration from the openais object database and generates an LDIF file suitable for importing into an LDAP database. The LDIF file is written to standard output.
Options
<basedn>-
This is the base DN of the LDAP server into which the configuration will be imported. confdb2ldif will create a "cn=cluster" object below this to contain the cluster configuration. The base DN is usually derived from the host's domain name. So if the host is ldapsrv.mycorp.com then the base DN could be dc=mycorp,dc=com.
- [<config object base>]
-
Configuration object in the objdb to start from. This defaults to "cluster" and there should rarely be any need to change it.
Comments
confdb2ldif uses the openais libconfdb to read the configuration. The default way to do this is run against a running aisexec to read the live configuration. It is possible to generate an LDIF file from a non-running system by using the standalone feature of openais's libconfdb.
eg to read the configuration from /etc/cluster/cluster.conf, use the following command:
OPENAIS_DEFAULT_CONFIG_IFACE=xmlconfig:cmanpreconfig confdb2ldif dc=mycompany,dc=com
or to do it from CCS
OPENAIS_DEFAULT_CONFIG_IFACE=ccsconfig:cmanpreconfig confdb2ldif dc=mycompany,dc=com
The LDIF file is written to stdout and so can be saved or piped straight into ldapmodify if required.
It's important that the 99cluster.ldif schema file has been loaded into the LDAP server before adding the contents of this generated LDIF file.
Examples
confdb2ldif dc=mycorp,dc=com | ldapmodify -x -a -D"cn=Directory Manager" -c -v -W
