Re: newbie problem



Hi John,

Thanks a lot. I modified my address.ldif file to look like this
------------------------------------------------------------
dn: o=Western Outdoor Interactive, c=IN
objectClass: organization
o: Western Outdoor Interactive

dn: cn=Keith Fernandez,o=Western Outdoor Interactive,c=IN
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
objectClass: organization
cn: Keith Fernandez
sn: Fernandez
telephoneNumber: 91-22-8933177
mail: keith@w-o-i.com
o: Western Outdoor Interactive
givenname: Keith
localityName: Mumbai
----------------------------------------------------------------
and then I ran the command
ldapadd -x -D "cn=root,o=Western Outdoor Interactive,c=IN" -W -v -f
address.ldif
it gave me an error
------------------------------------------------------------------
dap_initialize( <DEFAULT> )
Enter LDAP Password:
add objectClass:
        organization
add o:
        Western Outdoor Interactive
adding new entry "o=Western Outdoor Interactive, c=IN"

add objectClass:
        inetOrgPerson
        organization

add o:
        Western Outdoor Interactive
add givenname:
        Keith
add localityName:
        Mumbai
adding new entry "cn=Keith Fernandez,o=Western Outdoor Interactive,c=IN"
ldap_add: Invalid syntax
        additional info: objectClass: value #1 contains invalid data

ldif_record() = 21
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----
The root DIT got added but it gave an error on adding my entry. On further
editing the address.ldif file to
--------------------------------
dn: cn=Keith Fernandez,o=Western Outdoor Interactive,c=IN
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
cn: Keith Fernandez
sn: Fernandez
telephoneNumber: 91-22-8933177
mail: keith@w-o-i.com
localityName: Mumbai
-----------------------------------
I it got modified successfully


Thanks once again. Do you know what this error means. It had something to do
with the ObjectClass : organization ?

Regards,
Keith
