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
