Frequently Asked Questions

LDIF (LDAP Data Interchange Format) is the standard format for representing LDAP directory entries. It's used to export and import data from directory services like Active Directory, OpenLDAP, and others.

All attributes are extracted including DN, cn, sn, givenName, mail, telephoneNumber, memberOf, and any custom attributes. Each unique attribute becomes a column in the CSV.

Attributes with multiple values (like memberOf or mail) can be combined into a single cell with a separator, or you can choose to use only the first value. Configure this in the options.

Yes! Export from AD using ldifde.exe or PowerShell, then upload here. Common attributes like sAMAccountName, displayName, mail, and group memberships are fully supported.

Absolutely. All parsing happens in your browser. Your LDIF file with potentially sensitive directory information never leaves your device.

Binary attributes (like jpegPhoto or userCertificate) are Base64 encoded in LDIF. The tool detects these and can either include them as Base64 strings or skip them entirely.

LDIF uses line folding (lines starting with a space are continuations). The parser correctly handles this to reconstruct complete attribute values.

The tool exports all entries by default. After downloading the CSV, you can filter by objectClass or any attribute in your spreadsheet software.

The full DN is preserved as a column. You can also choose to extract just the CN (common name) or RDN (relative DN) for simpler analysis.

LDIF files should be UTF-8 encoded. Base64-encoded values (indicated by :: instead of :) are automatically decoded to readable text.
