I got the following error when I tried to add from initial.ldif file into the ldap database:

hometest:openldap # ldapadd -x -D "cn=Manager,dc=ip6,dc=com,dc=au" -W -f initial.ldif
Enter LDAP Password:
ldap_sasl_bind(SIMPLE): Can't contact LDAP server (-1)

Here is the content of initial.ldif file:

hometest:openldap # cat initial.ldif
dn: dc=ip6,dc=com,dc=au
objectClass: top
objectClass: dcObject
objectClass: organization
o: IP6 Networks
dc: ip6

# super user node
dn: cn=root,dc=ip6,dc=com,dc=au
objectclass: organizationalRole
objectclass: simpleSecurityObject
cn: root
description: LDAP administrator
userPassword: {MD5}cW2LX0AjZxSBzv/mflD3xQ==

Can anyone tell me how resolve this issue?

Your help is very much appreciated.

Thanks
Sam


Sounds like the slapd server is not running at all.  And if you are
going to add entries with ldapadd the daemon needs to be running.  But,
since this is an initial load just added the entries with slapadd and
then start the server.
