I have ubuntu(8.10) ldap server running. I am migrating from my old servers to ubuntu 10.04.2 server and I have set up almost all freshly on the new servers. How could I perfectly migrate ldap to the new server after installing ldap?.

I found the following to export and import ldap in the google:

slapcat -l master.ldif
slapadd -c -l master.ldif

Is there anything I've to do before/after using those commands?. Any precautions?

EDIT 1: I could not configure ldap server freshly following the link: error:

root@station3:`# ldapadd -D cn=admin,dc=mydomain,dc=com -W -f front-end.ldif 
Enter LDAP Password: 
ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)

While I can't remember the exact release, OpenLDAP switched from file-based configuration to LDAP-based config sometime around the '08 releases.

If possible, I would do a test-migration and see (in a controlled environment) if your new server works as expected.
