Re: openldap woes -- linux

What is the exact syntax of your 'ldapadd' command?  Are you typing it as
shown below, or are you replacing the examples with your data?  Are you
removing the "<" and ">" characters?

Also, what password are you trying to use?  I believe the default is
"secret."

Good luck!
Adam

example:
ldapadd -D "cn=Manager, dc=amazon, dc=com" -W < myldif.ldif
