The PMDF DIRSYNC/CONVERT command converts between LDIF format and other directory formats, such as ALL-IN-1, cc:Mail, PMDF databases, the DDS, comma-separated fields, LDAP, Microsoft Mail, and standard LDIF. The parameters for the command specify from which and to which format to convert, and in the case of file-based formats, the names of the files for input or output. Depending on the values of source and destination parameters, some other qualifiers can be available; see Valid PMDF DIRSYNC/CONVERT Qualifier Combinations. Note that these qualifiers must appear after the non-LDIF parameter; thus the general place to specify them is at the end of the command line.

See the PMDF System Manager's Guide for a detailed discussion of these options; in brief, LDAP_SERVER specifies the (TCP/IP) name of the LDAP server and the port on which the LDAP server runs, LDAP_USER and LDAP_PASSWORD specify the name and password to use to bind to the LDAP server, and LDAP_BASE specifies the location in the Directory Information Tree of the subtree of information to be extracted.
