Situation
When importing several hundred users with the following command
line:
ice -S ldif -f sys:myldif.txt -D ldap -s myserver -p389 -d cn=admin,o=myorg -w mypassword
the import stops after the first 250 entries. It could possbly be more than this amount but it will stop and return to the prompt acting like it did not work.
ice -S ldif -f sys:myldif.txt -D ldap -s myserver -p389 -d cn=admin,o=myorg -w mypassword
the import stops after the first 250 entries. It could possbly be more than this amount but it will stop and return to the prompt acting like it did not work.
Resolution
The -c
parameter, which prevents the LDIF handler from stopping on errors,
needs to be used:
ice -S ldif-c-f sys:myldif.txt -D ldap -s myserver -p389 -d cn=admin,o=myorg -w mypassword
ice -S ldif-c-f sys:myldif.txt -D ldap -s myserver -p389 -d cn=admin,o=myorg -w mypassword
Additional Information
Note that the placement of option parameters is very important as usage can
change depending on the handlers being used:
