But you could do this with just plain old LDAP. If you have a CSV
formatting that into modify or add operations is pretty trivial, but it
requires that you know which objects already exist and which do not. You
could also do the brute-force method of trying to add all operations and
then, after 90% of them fail, do the modify of all of them so those that
already existed still exist but those that did not now do, and everything
has the attribute(s) added properly.
Good luck.

that should be fairly easy with my DSImport and shouldn't take longer than a
minute or two.
Just do two runs - one with "Create Objects" and the next run with "Modify
Objects".

Of course you'll need to have the users' mandatory attributes in the file.

modify ... but that's a rather "gluggy" way of doing things.

Sorry... I didn't mean to watch for failure but rather just meant to state
that 90% of them (assuming 90% of the objects in the imported data already
existed) would fail but just keep on going with the modify, which is what
you just said. I agree... "gluggy" (whatever that is it sounds right) and
knowing what you are importing seems to be a good thing.
Good luck.

ICE nor any of the 'standard' LDAP modification tools would, however, the
ldapModify module in the ldapGadgets
(http://www.dreamlan.com/gadgets.html) could so that in the same pass.
Simply select the "Replace values or Add DN if not exist" option.

> ... would fail but just keep on going with the modify,
Right .. just have to be careful in checking the log file to ensure the
'failures' are of the -601 type (no such entry) for the modify pass and
failures for the add pass are of the -606 type (entry already exist).
Peter Kuo
the ldapGadget modules - and one of them is a LDIF<->CSV Converter).
