Yes, that was added with version 1.5.0, see
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSTUDIO-486.
There is now way to supress the version line during export, please
file a new issue.
s/now/no/
The 'version: 1' line is mandatory per RFC 2849 :
ldif-file = ldif-content / ldif-changes
ldif-content = version-spec 1*(1*SEP ldif-attrval-record)
version-spec = "version:" FILL version-number
Hello,
Thanks for the information, I did not realize that it was actually
specified in the RFC. It makes sense that this was be added to
Directory Studio to make it's LDIF output standards compliant.
However, it would still be nice to have the option to suppress this
line, similar to how the ldapsearch command gives you the -LLL option,
for example.
The main reason I asked the question originally was because I had some
Perl scripts which parsed LDIF files exported from Directory Studio,
and the addition of the version line and the blank line that follows
it broke those scripts. I was able to update the scripts and fix the
problem without any trouble, but I was surprised that this change in
Directory Studio was not accompanied by an option to use the old
behavior.
You can safely remove the version: 1 line, as it's not going to change.
LDIF format hasn't changed for years, and is not likely to change.
I personnaly think that this version: tag should have been set in a
comment , like # version: 1, instead of a attributeType like line...
Whatever.
