I see there is a menu item for import and export. However I can not find documentation. I am setting up a LDAP addressbook and have about 500 users I need to get into the system and could really use a way to import them.

I created a spreadsheet with our users. Then exported it as a CSV file. I found a tool at Novell's web site that converts csv to ldif. After a few false stats I got it to work. Then it was a no brainer to use ldapadmin to import the file. Thanks for all the help.

Import works with LDIF files. To be able to import your addresses to LDAP you have to represent them in LDIF format which is LDAP standard export/import format.

Thanks for the answer. So somehow I need to get my user info into a LDIF file. Being new to this LDAP stuff, are there any tools to help me, or do I need to just create the file by hand?

I don't know about tools, always did that manually... but there sure must be some tools out there. Try googling a bit, something usefull may pop out. Othirewise, you'll have to do it manually. Perhaps you can export to csv and then use some csv to ldif tool...
