LDAP data in CSV format
Hi all,
I am new here, please don't eat me alive..
I am trying to find a good community to learn and participate in unix / linux discussions to help me improve in my current job.
That being said, I have a problem which I didn't expect to challenge me, but I can't seem to find a viable solution..
I am trying to do one of two things:
1. Take an LDIF export from an LDAP directory and convert it to a CSV format where the first line contains attributes and the preceding lines contain values, one line per object.
2. Find a way to export directly from the LDAP directory into a CSV format in the above configuration.
I am not good at writing scripts, so I've searched around for a pre-existing solution. Perhaps a program which takes an LDIF and a few attribute names as an input and outputs a CSV. Or maybe something which can search an LDAP directory and export the contents directly into CSV format.
Can this be done?
This is Redhat Linux, the process is IBM Security Directory Server which is an LDAP directory.

db2ldif
DB2LDIF(8) System Manager's Manual DB2LDIF(8)
NAME
db2ldif - Directory Server script for exporting the database
SYNOPSIS
db2ldif [-Z serverID] {-n backend_instance}* | {-s includeSuffix}* [{-x excludeSuffix}*] [-a outputFile] [-m] [-M] [-r] [-u] [-U] [-C] [-N]
[-E] [-1] [-q] [-h]
DESCRIPTION
Exports the contents of the database to a LDIF file. This script can be executed while the server is still running, except when using the
-r option.
OPTIONS
A summary of options is included below:
-Z Server Identifier
The server ID of the Directory Server instance. If there is only one instance on the system, this option can be skipped.
-n Backend Name
The name of the LDBM database to reindex. Example: userRoot
-s includeSuffix
Specifies suffixes to be included in the LDIF file.
-x excludeSuffix
Specifies suffixes to be excluded from the LDIF file.
-a Output File
The name for the LDIF file.
-m
Minimize the base64 encodings in the exported LDIF file.
-M
Exported ldif is stored in multiple files. These files are named : <instance>_<filename>
By default, all instances are stored in the filename specified by the -a option.
-r
Export replication data(information required to initialize a replica when the LDIF is imported).
-u
Do not export the unique-id attribute.
-U
Requests that the output LDIF is not folded.
-C
Uses only the main database file.
-N
Suppress printing sequential number
-E
Decrypts any encrypted data during export.
-1
Deletes, for reasons of backward compatibility, the first line of the LDIF file that gives the version of the LDIF standard.
-q
Quiet mode. Suppresses output of the script.
-h
Display the usage.
EXAMPLE
db2ldif -Z instance3 -n userRoot -a /LDAP/ldif/export.ldif
db2ldif -s 'dc=example,dc=com' -a /LDAP/ldif/export.ldif -m -E -q
