[389-users] Re: dsidm not work with imported openldap accounts

Hello, I would like to migrate my old openldap server to 389-ds (CentOS 8). I tried to upload  the old users from the openldap server into 389-ds, but if I then try to use the dsidm command I get the following  error message: "Error: No object exists given the filter criteria ... "
  # john, people, example.com  dn: uid=john,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com  objectClass: top  objectClass: person  objectClass: posixAccount  objectClass: shadowAccount  uid: john  cn: John  uidNumber: 5000  gidNumber: 5000  homeDirectory: /home/john  shadowLastChange: 18170  loginShell: /bin/bash  gecos: John Brown  shadowExpire: 24444  sn: Brown    Is it a schema problem? 
Sort of...  dsidm is an opinionated tool, and it does expect certain schema to be place to work correctly.
Does dsidm only work with accounts that have the schema of DS 1.4?  In 389-ds there is an openldap_to_ds migration script, but it seems to me that it keeps the same  schema for the account after migration, at this point it is better to recreate all the accounts with the new DS 1.4 schema  starting from the openldap data?

So yes as you noted below if the migration tool also added these objectclasses it would probably work:

objectClass: nsPerson (requires attributes: displayName and cn)
objectClass: nsAccount
objectClass: nsOrgPerson


William did all the openldap migration work so I'd like to get his input on this, but to me it makes sense to have any "migration tool" we provide to be compatible with the CLI tools we ship.  This should be a simple change to lib389 to get this working.

Mark
