Yes. > * edit the resulting ldif with an text editor and replace old ocurrences > of old suffix with the new one Bear in mind: 1. If at least one attribute value in the DN contains non-ASCII chars the LDIF contains base64-encoded DN values which you can't easily search&replace with a text editor. 2. Also long DN values might be split over two or more lines (line continuations) in the LDIF file. This also makes simple search&replace nearly unfeasible. So in general the safest approach is to write a small script using your favourite scripting language and a decent LDIF reader/writer module and rewrite all DN values therein. > * create the new directory with slapadd Yes.
