RHEL7/8: How to migrate from OpenLDAP to IdM if no network connection between both is possible?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

The following describes how to migrate from OpenLDAP to IdM using "ipa migrate-ds": Chapter 39. Migrating from an LDAP Directory to IdM

We understand that OpenLDAP and IdM need to be connected via a network when using "ipa migrate-ds". However, in the customer environment, OpenLDAP and IdM are not connected via a network. Therefore, "ipa migrate-ds" cannot be used.

Is there a way to migrate to IdM even if OpenLDAP and IdM can't be connected via a network? (e.g. Export OpenLDAP ldif and import it to IdM.)

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8
  • IdM
  • OpenLDAP (running on RHEL7)
  • migration to IdM
