<h2 id="rzahyldapdif">LDAP data interchange format (LDIF)</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>This documentation describes the LDAP data interchange format (LDIF), as
|
||
|
|
used by the <a href="rzahyldapadd.htm#rzahyldapadd">ldapmodify</a>, <a href="rzahyldapsrch.htm#rzahyldapsrch">ldapsearch</a> and <a href="rzahyldapadd.htm#rzahyldapadd">ldapadd</a> utilities. The LDIF
|
||
|
|
specified here is also supported by the server utilities provided with the
|
||
|
|
IBM Directory.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>LDIF is used to represent LDAP entries in text form. The basic form of
|
||
|
|
an LDIF entry is: </p>
|
||
|
|
<pre class="xmp">dn: <<var class="pv">distinguished name</var>>
|
||
|
|
<<var class="pv">attrtype</var>> : <<var class="pv">attrvalue</var>>
|
||
|
|
<<var class="pv">attrtype</var>> : <<var class="pv">attrvalue</var>>
|
||
|
|
...</pre><p class="indatacontent">A line can be continued by starting the next line with a single space
|
||
|
|
or tab character, for example:</p>
|
||
|
|
<pre class="xmp"> dn: cn=John E Doe, o=University of Higher
|
||
|
|
Learning, c=US</pre><p class="indatacontent">Multiple attribute values are specified on separate
|
||
|
|
lines, for example:</p>
|
||
|
|
<pre class="xmp"> cn: John E Doe
|
||
|
|
cn: John Doe</pre><p class="indatacontent">If an <<var class="pv">attrvalue</var>> contains a non-US-ASCII
|
||
|
|
character, or begins with a space or a colon ':', the <<var class="pv">attrtype</var>>
|
||
|
|
is followed by a double colon and the value is encoded in base-64 notation.
|
||
|
|
For example, the value " begins with a space" would be encoded like this: </p>
|
||
|
|
<pre class="xmp"> cn:: IGJlZ2lucyB3aXRoIGEgc3BhY2U=</pre><p class="indatacontent">Multiple entries within the same
|
||
|
|
LDIF file are separated by a blank line. Multiple blank lines are considered
|
||
|
|
a logical end-of-file.</p>
