How to convert Windchill DS ldif file to Active Directory ldif file

[TS_10220589]

I've exported an ldif file from Windchill using the Windchill Directory Server Control Panel. My question is, how do I convert this ldif file into a format that I can import into Windows Active Directory? I figure I can use the ldifde command to import an ldif file into Active Directory but I'm unsure how to convert the exported ldif file from Windchill into a format that Active Directory will accept. Does anyone know how to do this?

Can you provide a little background?  Why are you attempting to import windchill Directory Server (WDS) entries into Active Directory Server (ADS)?  I ask because this is not a typical request.

1. Most companies already have ADS populated with WDS equivalent user accounts.  They just need to map the WDS users to ADS users and PTC provides a tool for this.

2. ADS recommended practices do not structure the LDAP entries like WDS.

3. Windchill system administrators typically don't have write access to ADS.
