LDIF is the Ldap Directory Interchange Format and you only have to create an LDIF file, if your directory is not populated yet, but AD is populated by other means anyhow. Slapd is the stand alone LDAP daemon deriving from University of Michigan directory, AD is not deriving from Umich. -Dieter -- Dieter Klünter | Systemberatung http://www.dkluenter.de GPG Key ID:8EF7B6C6 --- You are currently subscribed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word UNSUBSCRIBE as the SUBJECT of the message.
