After the installation of IBM® Telephone Directory V5.2, you may want the application to use certain information from another LDAP directory server.
You can export existing LDAP information from another server to an LDAP data interchange format (.ldif) file and import it into your LDAP directory server. Once the information is in your LDAP directory server, IBM Telephone Directory V5.2 has access to it.
These steps are not applicable for a Domino® LDAP server.
To import an .ldif file to the LDAP directory server, follow these steps:
If you do not specify a location for the .ldif file to be exported to, it will be saved to the default directory specified in your i5/OS® user profile. If you have not changed your default directory, the default directory is the root directory.
