I am noticing something interesting with ldapmodrdn on 2.3.7. In the
manpage, it states one or more blank lines may be used to separate each
DN/RDN pair. However, if I create a file with multiple entries in it,
seperated by a blank line, it appears ldapmodrdn is not ignoring the blank
line or using it as a seperator. Instead it appears to take its value as
null.
For example, if my file contains the following, the first entry will
succeed, but the second will fail w/ Invalid DN syntax.
uid=modrdntest1,ou=users,ou=radius,dc=mydomain,dc=net
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
uid=modrdntest2,ou=users,ou=radius,dc=mydomain,dc=net
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
uid=modrdntest3,ou=users,ou=radius,dc=mydomain,dc=net
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
uid=modrdntest4,ou=users,ou=radius,dc=mydomain,dc=net
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
uid=modrdntest5,ou=users,ou=radius,dc=mydomain,dc=net
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Running ldapmodrdn -r -n -v -f testbad, shows
Renaming "uid=modrdntest1,ou=users,ou=radius,dc=mydomain,dc=net"
new rdn="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" (delete old rdn)
Renaming ""
new rdn="uid=modrdntest2,ou=users,ou=radius,dc=mydomain,dc=net"
(delete old rdn)
Renaming "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
new rdn="" (delete old rdn)
Renaming "uid=modrdntest3,ou=users,ou=radius,dc=mydomain,dc=net"
new rdn="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" (delete old rdn)
Renaming ""
new rdn="uid=modrdntest4,ou=users,ou=radius,dc=mydomain,dc=net"
(delete old rdn)
Renaming "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
new rdn="" (delete old rdn)
Renaming "uid=modrdntest5,ou=users,ou=radius,dc=mydomain,dc=net"
new rdn="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" (delete old rdn)
If I modify the file and remove all blank lines, so it looks like this.
uid=modrdntest1,ou=users,ou=radius,dc=mydomain,dc=net
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
uid=modrdntest2,ou=users,ou=radius,dc=mydomain,dc=net
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
uid=modrdntest3,ou=users,ou=radius,dc=mydomain,dc=net
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
uid=modrdntest4,ou=users,ou=radius,dc=mydomain,dc=net
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
uid=modrdntest5,ou=users,ou=radius,dc=mydomain,dc=net
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
They will all succeed.
Renaming "uid=modrdntest1,ou=users,ou=radius,dc=mydomain,dc=net"
new rdn="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" (delete old rdn)
Renaming "uid=modrdntest2,ou=users,ou=radius,dc=mydomain,dc=net"
new rdn="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" (delete old rdn)
Renaming "uid=modrdntest3,ou=users,ou=radius,dc=mydomain,dc=net"
new rdn="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" (delete old rdn)
Renaming "uid=modrdntest4,ou=users,ou=radius,dc=mydomain,dc=net"
new rdn="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" (delete old rdn)
Renaming "uid=modrdntest5,ou=users,ou=radius,dc=mydomain,dc=net"
new rdn="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" (delete old rdn)
Is ldapmodrdn supposed to use a blank line to seperate the dn/rdn pairs?
Thanks
