Re: ldap not very helpful

[ldap@linuxpro.co.za]

I have got the following error now

adding new entry "cn=Manager,o=domain-name"
ldap_add: Invalid syntax
        additional info: objectClass: value #10 invalid per syntax

ldif_record() = 21

I have removed all wite space
and changed dn: to dn:cn=Manager,o=domain-name

Any suggestions..
Many Thanks
