You want to export objects to a comma-separated variable (CSV) file. The CSV file can then be opened and manipulated from a spreadsheet application or with a text editor.
Once you have a CSV file containing entries, you can use a spreadsheet application such as Excel to view, sort, and manipulate the data.
The parameters used by cvsde
are nearly identical
to those used by ldifde
. The -f
switch specifies the name of the file to use to save the entries to,
-s
is the DC to query, -l
is
the comma-separated list of attributes to include,
-p
is the search scope (base, onelevel, or
subtree), -r
is the search filter, and
-d
is the base DN. If you encounter any issues,
the -v
switch enables verbose mode and can help
identify problems.
