Import LDIF Dialog

Use this dialog box to import new entries from an LDIF (LDAP Data Interchange Format) file into any suffix or chained suffix. You can also use this to modify and delete entries in bulk.

LDIF file. Enter the full path to the LDIF file you want to import or click Browse to select a file on the console host machine.

Add only. The LDIF file may contain modify and delete instructions in addition to the default add instructions. Select this checkbox if you want the server to perform only add instructions and ignore all others in the LDIF file.

Continue on error. Select this checkbox if you want the server to continue with the import even if errors occur. For example, use this option if you are importing an LDIF file that contains some entries that already exist in the suffix in addition to new ones. When this option is not selected, an existing entry or any other error in the LDIF file will stop the import operation.

File for rejects. Enter the full path to the file in which you want the console to record all entries it cannot import, or click Browse to select a file on the console host machine. This file will contain the error message returned by the server when processing an entry. For example, the server cannot add an entry that already exists in the suffix or an entry that has no parent object.
