RE: Problem getting started with openLDAP

Hi,

Thanks for your help, I'm getting a bit more response from ldap however I'm still having problems.
I modified my original config file so that it looks like this:

----- ex.ldiff -----
dn: dc=example,dc=com
objectclass: dcObject
objectclass: organization
o: Example Company
dc: example
dn: dc=example,dc=com
objectclass: organizationalRole
cn: Manager
----------

But I'm still getting errors:
% ldapadd -D "cn=Manager,dc=example, dc=com" -v -f ex.ldiff
Bind Password:
add objectclass:
        dcObject
        organization
        organizationalRole
add o:
        Example Company
add dc:
        example
add dn:
        dc=example,dc=com
add cn:
        Manager
adding new entry dc=example,dc=com
ldap_add_s: Invalid syntax



I also tried the example you suggested. It didn't like lines beggining with '#' so I removed the comments, it didn't like blank fields either (file quoted below).  With this I get another error:

% ldapadd -D "cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com" -v -f ex2.ldiff
Bind Password:
add objectClass:
        dcObject
add dc:
        example
adding new entry dc=example,dc=com
ldap_add_s: Object class violation


When I did the above, the log from slapd contains the following, I don't know if its relevant:
	conn=48 op=1 ADD dn="dc=example,dc=com"
	bdb_dn2entry_rw("dc=example,dc=com")
	=> bdb_dn2id_matched( "dc=example,dc=com" )
	<= bdb_dn2id_matched: no match
	send_ldap_result: conn=48 op=1 p=3
	send_ldap_result: err=65 matched="" text="no structural object class provided"


I'm still not too sure what is going on so any more enlightenment would be greatfully received.

Thanks in advance,
Matthew

Hi,

You should not add cn=Manager entry via ldif file, its already there in
sldap.conf file.

try with ldif file:

# example, com
dn: dc=example,dc=com
objectClass: dcObject
dc: example

# People, example, com
dn: ou=People,dc=example,dc=com
objectClass: organizationalUnit
ou: People

# Groups, example, com
dn: ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com
objectClass: organizationalUnit
ou: Groups

# nobody, People, example, com
dn: uid=nobody,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com
cn: nobody
sn: nobody
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
objectClass: sambaAccount
objectClass: posixAccount
gidNumber: 514
uid: nobody
uidNumber: 999
homeDirectory: /dev/null
pwdLastSet: 0
logonTime: 0
logoffTime: 2147483647
kickoffTime: 2147483647
pwdCanChange: 0
pwdMustChange: 2147483647
