But you can use the CSV > file upload that supports auto-UIDs. You are not right, it is here :-) But i never tried to use the "Tree/import" (i am not sure in English) functionality for LDIFs. When i need to import pure LDIF, i am using ldapadd, the command line (shell) utility from openldap package, but i don't like pure LDIF, because there are problems with UTF-8 values - in output LDIF they are base64 encoded. But bulk manipulating in whole LDIF is more simple than in spreadsheet :-) I can confirm, that importing via CSV file is great option. I am using it, and not only for bulk import. I have created "template" (not real template, but predefined file), which i have created from supplied example (it can be downloaded from CSV import page). This example file i have saved as LibreOffice Calc spreadsheet and created some formulas, to auto fill fields (attributes) as uid, email, etc from another fields and some predefined values. I have removed unused/unwanted fields too. After filling one or more account information here, i save it as CSV file and then upload it via LAM. Some of these ODS files i have archived as passwords database, because my students often forgets their passwords :-) regards - -- Slavko http://slavino.sk -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJPvpgbAAoJEIP5qrg5GI229YUH/0+tn4WM4KWJPBz8I2qhTPJS 44yduAy1L6QkA1dLOjAoc43q+0xw9vBpOgko7RmgUiYQ9XPFIVbr7yfm7i0ZoBm/ lNNDMctFyrHHYKWKVM09t9wohQmMjNIREtcA9fKurm1pLlKuXj4L8xnROkSUs4w0 BaF69KwlZ2t3fP7NoDQFCKPK6U4+q/zvB7CUgJpg5ur12PI3RP5IWHSqR6qGEnp/ S8dBv6ZLWpHhV+8i4ErRPaurYE8dzDxpifwXKnJSr5WEFBWKSsRAYBxsjSuUjOkF 3aKWXnAozqGylmvdCY/ct34hZkc6t3EjuK5IQYpZQITSC6+5+CvE8uDi878fh+Q= =tg3B -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
