- Download the script - Download ‘ldif.py’ from the location:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/abilian/ldif/master/ldif.py
- Add the name of the LDIF in
myLdifParser("YOUR_LDIF_FILE_NAME", writer)
location of the code. - Run script:
python3 bulk_load_ldif.py
Script
from collections import OrderedDict
from ldif import LDIFParser, LDIFWriter
class myLdifParser(LDIFParser):
def __init__(self, ldif_file, ldif_writer):
self.ldif_file = ldif_file
self.ldif_writer = ldif_writer
self.entries = []
def parse(self):
with open(self.ldif_file, 'rb') as f:
parser = LDIFParser(f)
for dn, entry in parser.parse():
entry_list = list(entry.items())
entry_list.insert(0, ('changetype', ['add']))
new_entry = OrderedDict(entry_list)
self.ldif_writer.unparse(dn, new_entry)
f = open('new.ldif', 'wb')
writer = LDIFWriter(f, cols=1000)
parser = myLdifParser("YOUR_LDIF_FILE_NAME", writer)
parser.parse()
f.close()
