Hi,
i would like to restore data generated by slapcat. I realized some
field (like userPassword) in the lidf file generated was encoded in
base64.
How should i restore the ldif with slapadd taking the real value
string for the attribute without redefined attribute value.
base64 is automatically encoded/decoded when using slapcat/slapadd
respectively. base64 is always used (automatically in exported data) in
ldif for particular fields, like userPassword or others which have
language-specific values, like:
cn: Nick Tester
cn;lang-en-us: Nick Tester
cn;lang-el-gr:: zp3Or866zr/PgiDOpM6tz4PPhM61z4E=
So, you don't have to do anything; importing the ldif will decode your
data correctly.
