LDIF Attributes Required By SIMS

Even if you are going to write your own LDIF generation scripts, it is recommended that you use imldifsync on a very small subset of your own data as a learning tool to see what entries are generated from which input data. However, we provide the following information as a Quick Reference aid in generating your own LDIF (refer to Appendix D, "SIMS Directory Schema and Directory Information Tree for a complete list):

Note - The complete set of attributes and their syntaxes are defined in
/etc/opt/SUNWconn/ldap/current/slapd.at.conf and in other schema files accessed by slapd via the include directive in
/etc/opt/SUNWconn/ldap/current/slapd.conf.
