About:
Ldapvi is a command-line tool that allows users to interact with LDAP directories by retrieving entries and presenting them in an editable text format. It simplifies the process of making bulk or complex changes by leveraging standard text editors. After editing, it intelligently calculates the necessary LDAP modify operations and applies them to the server.

Key Features:

Two-way synchronization with LDAP directories
Uses any standard text editor for making changes
Automatic diff generation for LDAP modify operations
Command-line interface for scripting and automation

Use Cases:

Bulk updating user attributes across an LDAP directory
Comparing local changes with a remote LDAP server state
Scripting LDAP modifications in system administration workflows

Alternatives:

ldapmodify – Standard tool requiring explicit LDIF files, whereas ldapvi provides an interactive editor workflow.
phpLDAPadmin – Web-based GUI alternative, whereas ldapvi is a lightweight, terminal-based tool.
