Adding an LDIF File

If LDAP Quickstart Manager will use an LDIF file instead of accessing the directory service directly, you need to add an LDIF file object to the Sources pane.
  1. Click Configure > Directory Service/LDIF File. The Directory Services/LDIF dialog box opens.
  2. Click Add. The Add Source dialog box opens.
  3. Select the LDIF File option and click OK. The LDIF File Properties dialog box opens.
  4. In the LDIF File Properties dialog box:
    1. Enter a name in the Name field.
    2. For now use one of the sample mappings: Test Mapping, Microsoft Active Directory, or OpenLDAP. Test Mapping might be the best initial choice. However, you will need to change to a different mapping and/or adjust your selected mapping before you actually import users.
    3. You can modify the sample or create a new mapping for this LDIF file later.
    4. Enter or browse for the complete path to the LDIF file.
    5. Click OK.
      Note: From the Directory Services/LDIF Files dialog box, you can edit this object or delete it. For example, double-clicking the name opens its properties dialog so that you can review or edit those properties.
