Re: Adding Initial Entries via ldapadd and ldif file

[Michael Eichenberger <michael.eichenberger@stepping-stone.ch>]

Hi Peter

Your first entry in the ldif file should consist of:

dn: dc=pvpsc,dc=com
objectclass: top
objectclass: dcObject
dc: pvpsc

You may have to add the top level entry first:

dn: dc=com
objectclass: top
objectclass: dcObject
dc: com

Regards, Michael
