Re: ldapadd returning strange messages (undocumented?)

[Raj Kunjithapadam <rajk@home.com>]

You need to have the dn
dn: ou=staff, o=Netopolis, c=US
before trying to add the dn
dn: ou=department, ou=staff, o=Netopolis, c=US
and so on.
Your LDIF should look like...

dn: ou=staff, o=Netopolis, c=US
objectClass: top
objectClass: organizationalUnit
ou: staff

dn: ou=department,ou=staff, o=Netopolis, c=US
objectClass: top
objectClass: organizationalUnit
ou: department

dn: cn=Janelle Overhaus, ou=department, ou=staff, o=Netopolis, c=US

all the required objectClass and user attributes here.
