Using PADL scripts to migrate NIS users to OD…?

[zamoose]

Anyone have any tips on how to use the PADL (www.padl.com) Perl scripts to migrate NIS users over to OpenDirectory? I used their stock scripts and used ldapadd to try to bootstrap the OD accounts, but none of the imported accounts are showing up in Workgroup Manager.

Methinks it’s because OD uses a different users schema than OpenLDAP by default.

Anyone have any tips, preferably links to detailed step-by-step instructions on how to do exactly what I’m looking for?

Okay, I’ve coaxed the PADL scripts to export from our NIS domain and, using ldapadd, I am able to add all my users, but they STILL won’t show up in WGM. Here’s an example (names changed to protect the innocent):

====================================
dn: uid=username,cn=users,dc=xserver,dc=…
uid: username
cn: first last
givenName: first
sn: last
mail: username@domainname
mailRoutingAddress: [email protected]
mailHost: mail.domainname
objectClass: inetLocalMailRecipient
objectClass: person
objectClass: organizationalPerson
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
objectClass: apple-user
objectClass: extensibleObject
objectClass: posixAccount
objectClass: top
userPassword: {crypt}[cryptpw]
loginShell: /bin/tcsh
uidNumber: 1074
gidNumber: 1074
homeDirectory: /home/[username]
gecos: first last
====================================

So what am I doing wrong? Why aren’t the records showing up in WGM?

Looks like I was missing shadowAccount. What does that objectClass add?
