Re: 2.0.7: ldap_add: Undefined attribute type

[David Young <dyoung@NetToNetTech.com>]

One thing I notice below is that the ldapadd output says:

> add dc:
> mobilix.dk

However, the LDIF you included says:

> dc: mobilix

So maybe you have a typo somewhere and your root dc=mobilix,dc=dk entry is
not getting created? In your typescript, the error seems to get sent when it
attempts to lookup dc=mobilix,dc=dk in the database:

> conn=0 op=1 ADD dn="DC=MOBILIX,DC=DK"
> dn2entry_r: dn: "DC=MOBILIX,DC=DK"
> => dn2id( "DC=MOBILIX,DC=DK" )
> => ldbm_cache_open( "/usr/local/openldap/var/openldap-ldbm/dn2id.dbb", 7, 600
> )
> <= ldbm_cache_open (cache 0)
> <= dn2id NOID
> send_ldap_result: conn=0 op=1 p=3
