NAME¶
pst2ldif - extract contacts from a MS Outlook .pst file in .ldif
format
SYNOPSIS¶
pst2ldif [-V]
[-b ldap-base]
[-c class]
[-d debug-file]
[-l extra-line] [-o] [-h]
pstfilename
OPTIONS¶
-V
Show program version. Subsequent options are then
ignored.
-b ldap-base
Sets the ldap base value used in the dn records. You
probably want to use something like "o=organization, c=US".
-c class
Sets the objectClass values for the contact items. This
class needs to be defined in the schema used by your LDAP server, and at a
minimum it must contain the ldap attributes given below. This option may be
specified multiple times to generate entries with multiple object
classes.
-d debug-file
Specify name of debug log file. The log file is now an
ascii file, instead of the binary file used in previous versions.
-l extra-line
Specify an extra line to be added to each ldap entry.
This option may be specified multiple times to add multiple lines to each ldap
entry.
-o
Use the old ldap schema, rather than the default new ldap
schema. The old schema generates multiple postalAddress attributes for a
single entry. The new schema generates a single postalAddress (and
homePostalAddress when available) attribute with $ delimiters as specified in
RFC4517. Using the old schema also generates two extra leading entries, one
for "dn:ldap base", and one for "dn: cn=root, ldap
base".
-h
Show summary of options. Subsequent options are then
ignored.
DESCRIPTION¶
pst2ldif reads the contact information from a MS Outlook
.pst file and produces a .ldif file that may be used to import those
contacts into an LDAP database. The following ldap attributes are generated
for the old ldap schema:
cn
givenName
sn
personalTitle
company
mail
postalAddress
l
st
postalCode
c
homePhone
telephoneNumber
facsimileTelephoneNumber
