To migrate Enterprise Server users to an ADAM repository

Before you can migrate your users, the target repository must be extended to support the Enterprise Server configuration objects. How you do this will vary slightly depending on the particular LDAP server that you are using. In all cases, you will create use the MFDS -L command to create an LDIF file containing the necessary extensions and then use the relevant import command for your LDAP server.

For more information see, To update an Adam repository to support Enterprise Server configuration objects .

The Monitor and Control users are defined in Sign On Table (SNT) entries. These are stored in a file called dfhdrdat . By default this is stored in your installdir \Base\FILES\SYS directory. This has an associated index file dfhdrdat.idx . Both files must be in the same location.

  1. Use the cas-to-ad.exe utility to do migrate the users. The utility has a number of options for specifying your LDAP directory credentials, target container, server details, path to the dfhdrdat file, password encoding and the information to be displayed.

    Examples:

    cas-to-ad
    cas-to-ad -u myuser -p password -r . -l localhost:389

    This will extract user definitions from dfhdrdat and attempt to import them into your LDAP Directory.
