[Freeipa-users] Export data

[Martin Kosek]

Similarly to users, you just use the right  container:

$ kinit admin
$ ldapsearch -h `hostname` -Y GSSAPI -b 'cn=dns,dc=example,dc=com'

There are plenty of resources online how to work with ldapsearch, ldapmodify
and resulting LDIFs that could help get you started.
