VMS Help  —  PMDF  DIRSYNC  /CONVERT  Description
    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.

    For instance, to dump an LDAP directory to an LDIF file, the
    command syntax would be:

 $ PMDF DIRSYNC/CONVERT LDAP LDIF=ldap.ldif/OPTION=PMDF_TABLE:sync_ldap_option.

    where PMDF_TABLE:SYNC_LDAP_OPTION. is a file containing at least
    the mandatory options LDAP_SERVER, LDAP_USER, LDAP_PASSWORD, and
    LDAP_BASE. 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.
