problems using ldap_add command line tool

[Heiko Nardmann <h.nardmann@secunet.de>]

I have problems inserting entries into my LDAP tree.
When I enter

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ldapadd -h localhost -D "cn=root" -w "secret"
caname=ca4
objectclass=top
objectclass=ca
caname=ca4
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

then I get the following:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

caname=ca4
objectclass=top
objectclass=ca
caname=ca4

adding new entry caname=ca4
ldap_add: No such object
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am running slapd in debug mode with -d 65535 which results in the
following output during my add request:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Where is the error here?
