ldapadd is failing - error: Naming violation additional info: value of naming attribute 'ou'is not present in entry

[Raed Nashef <rnashef@baxglobal.com>]

Hi all, 

1- I've downloaded and installed Openldap
2.1.25. 

2- My "slapd.conf" file has
the following configuration:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
include        
/usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/core.schema
include        
/usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/cosine.schema
include        
/usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/inetorgperson.schema
include        
/usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/misc.schema

pidfile        
/usr/local/var/slapd.pid
argsfile        /usr/local/var/slapd.args

database        bdb
suffix          "o=bax"
rootdn          "cn=Manager,o=bax"
rootpw          secret
directory       /usr/local/var/openldap-data

# Indices to maintain
index   objectClass    
eq
index   cn,mail      
  pres,sub,eq
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


3- Created an ldif file with the following
entries

----------------------------------------
dn: o=bax
o: bax
objectclass: top
objectclass: organization

dn: ou=AMERICA,o=bax
ou: AMERICA
objectclass: organizationalUnit

dn: ou=AFRICA,o=bax
ou: AFRICA
objectclass: organizationalUnit

dn: ou=AGENT,o=bax
ou: AGENT
objectclass: organizationalUnit

dn: ou=EUROPE,o=bax
ou: EUROPE
objectclass: organizationalUnit

dn: ou=IT Services,ou=EUROPE,o=bax
ou: EUROPE
objectclass: organizationalUnit

dn: ou=Global Sales,ou=EUROPE,o=bax
ou: EUROPE
objectclass: organizationalUnit
------------------------------------------------


3- Then I used ldapadd to insert the
above entries into my directory. As you see below it fails when it tries
to add the "ou=IT Services" entry as shown below:
--------------------------
ldapadd -x -D "cn=Manager,o=bax"
-w secret -f baxBaseEntries.ldif 
adding new entry "o=bax"

adding new entry "ou=AMERICA,o=bax"

adding new entry "ou=AFRICA,o=bax"

adding new entry "ou=AGENT,o=bax"

adding new entry "ou=EUROPE,o=bax"

adding new entry "ou=IT
Services,ou=EUROPE,o=bax"
ldap_add: Naming violation
       
additional info: value of naming attribute 'ou' is not present
in entry
ldif_record() = 64
-------------------------


What am I doing wrong ? Keep in mind
that I have the same configuration and directory entries configured and
working for the last two years with Openldap version 2.0.23!!
