The correct answer comes from Mr. Karl Rossing: The N2L service is the Sun-provided way to convert NIS maps to LDAP. It's a service that makes your NIS master receive info from an LDAP directory, but part of what it does is to the actual conversion of the NIS maps. Its somewhat convoluted, but one can find the official doc here: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-3194/nis2ldap-34?a=view A Sun Blueprint on the subject is here: http://www.sun.com/blueprints/0306/819-4326.pdf I got some other responses to use the LDAP migration tools from Padl Ltd: http://www.padl.com/OSS/MigrationTools.html. Not exactly the answer I was looking for, but very useful nonetheless.

I'm trying to replace NIS with Sun Java Directory server 6.2 and am installing it following http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-2489 and I have the base LDAP server up. However, instructions on converting NIS maps to LDAP are eerily absent. The Solaris 10 collection has a blurb about using ldapaddent to populate the directory, but it only works if your system is a client, which is like putting the cart before the horse... Is there any help on converting a NIS domain and all its NIS maps to LDAP? I'm interested in the conversion of data into an LDAP server, the documentation on adding clients looks pretty straightforward. Documentation for the older iPlanet LDAP server mention using 'dsimport' to convert maps, but this is missing from the current release.
