NAME

       pst2ldif - extract contacts from a MS Outlook .pst file in .ldif format

SYNOPSIS

       pst2ldif [-V] [-b ldap-base] [-c class] [-d debug-file] [-l extra-line]
                [-o] [-h] pstfilename

OPTIONS

       -V     Show program version. Subsequent options are then ignored.

       -b ldap-base
              Sets  the  ldap  base value used in the dn records. You probably
              want to use something like "o=organization, c=US".

       -c class
              Sets the objectClass values for the contact  items.  This  class
              needs  to be defined in the schema used by your LDAP server, and
              at a minimum it must contain the ldap  attributes  given  below.
              This  option may be specified multiple times to generate entries
              with multiple object classes.

       -d debug-file
              Specify name of debug log file. The log file  is  now  an  ascii
              file, instead of the binary file used in previous versions.

       -l extra-line
              Specify  an  extra  line  to  be  added to each ldap entry. This
              option may be specified multiple times to add multiple lines  to
              each ldap entry.

       -o     Use  the  old  ldap  schema,  rather  than  the default new ldap
              schema.  The  old  schema   generates   multiple   postalAddress
              attributes for a single entry. The new schema generates a single
              postalAddress (and homePostalAddress when  available)  attribute
              with  $ delimiters as specified in RFC4517. Using the old schema
              also generates two  extra  leading  entries,  one  for  "dn:ldap
              base", and one for "dn: cn=root, ldap base".

       -h     Show summary of options. Subsequent options are then ignored.

DESCRIPTION

       pst2ldif  reads the contact information from a MS Outlook .pst file and
       produces a .ldif file that may be used to import those contacts into an
       LDAP  database. The following ldap attributes are generated for the old
       ldap schema: cn givenName sn personalTitle company mail postalAddress l
       st  postalCode  c  homePhone  telephoneNumber  facsimileTelephoneNumber
       mobile description  The following attributes are generated for the  new
       ldap   schema:   cn   givenName   sn   title   o   mail   postalAddress
       homePostalAddress  l  st   postalCode   c   homePhone   telephoneNumber
       facsimileTelephoneNumber mobile description labeledURI
