Overview

The information you will use to set up your user and group mappings for a directory server integration can be exported easily into a format called LDIF (LDAP Data Interchange Format). You can use this information yourself or provide it to a Jive Support engineer. Exporting an LDIF file from your server can help you extract key information about your LDAP settings that's useful in setting up your Jive integration.

Information

Any LDAP directory browser provides the ability to export and import from an LDIF file. If you are using Active Directory, you can use the ldifde command-line tool.

Another excellent tool is JXplorer, which helps you to validate your LDAP mappings and provides an easy-to-use LDIF export.

Example

Here is an example of the ldifde command, the output gets generated by executing:

ldifde -f output.txt -d ou=Jive_Users,dc=support,dc=jive,dc=com
