But I have no practical experience with 389-Directory Server (Question 1) so I'm looking for a tutorial or 'How To' to put information into 389-DS from a machine that is currently running? (Question 2) Can I export the 389-DS database to a LDIF file, migrate my machine from CentOS 6 to CentOS 7 by doing a fresh CentOS 7 install. Install 389-DS and import the just created LDIF file?
