Actually I got that working:

Create a file export_to_ldif_20200420.ldif:
--- cite ---
dn: cn=task_name,cn=export,cn=tasks,cn=config
objectclass: extensibleObject
cn: task_name
nsInstance: userRoot
nsFilename: /tmp/export.ldif
--- /cite ---

Then run the following command:
ldapadd -D "cn=Directory Manager" -W -H ldaps://YOUT_HOSTNAME_GOES_HERE -x -f
export_to_ldif_20200420.ldif

Voila:
# ll /tmp/export.ldif
-rw------- 1 dirsrv dirsrv 15043 Apr 20 17:24 /tmp/export.ldif
#

OK, thanks for that information.

Is there a section in the wiki for these kinds of things? If not, I would
volunteer to write a small summary.

Kind Regards,
Johannes
