Warren Rogers commented on DIRSERVER-2077:
------------------------------------------
I came across the original issue also with M24.
After some troubleshooting, and not being able to use this workaround, I
finally found the problem.
The *config.ldif* has the attribute *ads-baseDn* with the value of " " (space).
The config.ldif conversion works perfectly with the space, but if that space is
removed so that the attribute reads just *ads-baseDn:* the conversion fails.
So, how did the exported file have those spaces removed? My IDE (JetBrains
Idea) is set to clean extra whitespace from files, for size and general
cleanliness. Thus, the working file now fails with my new directory server vs
the directory server I created via Apache Studio, which I used to export the
*config.ldif*.
So, I would say this is still a bug. Values of attributes should be allowed
non-space, or no value. Or, require non-value attributes be some other value,
such as 'null' If 'null' is not allowable, then the reader should add the
space during initialization.

> Project: Directory ApacheDS
> Issue Type: Task
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0-M20
> Reporter: Emmanuel Lecharny
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 2.0.0-M24
>
>
> We have been lazy in the past, by not provided tools to migrate from one
> version to the other, simply because they were milestones.
> There are three things we need to migrate :
> - configuration
> - schemas
> - data
> for each of those data, we have to provide a tool that helps the migration
> from one version to the next one.
> Ideally, this should be cumulative : ie, migrating from N to, say, N+3 should
> migrate those data from N to N+1, then N+1 to N+2 and finally N+2 to N+3
