RE: Invalid DN

["Ian Moroney" <ian.moroney@techdivision.co.uk>]

ldapadd -x -h localhost -D "cn=mailadmin,dc=global-drum,dc=com" -W -f /srv/ox/share/init_ldap.ldif works!

why don't they tell you in the tutorial to have double quotes :P

 

Thanks and Kind Regards,

Ian, 
        Try ldapadd -x -h localhost -D "cn=mailadmin,dc=global-drum,dc=com" -W -f 
/srv/ox/share/init_ldap.ldif and see if this 
works. Notice the DN after the -D is in double quotes. Also, if you have the 
HOSTS (which is depreciated) or URI (which is the new way of defining providers) 
defined in your /etc/openldap/ldap.conf file you do not need to define the -h 
localhost in the ldapadd or ldapsearch commands.

Subject	Invalid DN

Hi again all! 
Just another brick 
wall i've ran into... 
  
I am running the following command: 
ldapadd -x -h localhost -D 
cn=mailadmin,dc=global-drum,dc=com -W -f /srv/ox/share/init_ldap.ldif 
I then get: 
ldap_bind: Invalid DN syntax (34) 
 additional info: invalid DN 
  
This error happens if i have 
UID=mailadmin,dc=global-drum,dc=com, cn=root.... cn=mailadmin or 
whatever. 
  
if 
necessary, i can post the contents of the init_ldap.ldif and my slapd.conf 
files. 
  
ldapsearch -h localhost -D "UID=mailadmin,dc=global-drum,dc=com" -x 
-W 
(after password enter) 
comes back with: 
  
# extended LDIF 
# 
# LDAPv3 
# base <> with scope subtree 
# filter: (objectclass=*) 
# requesting: ALL 
# 
  
# search result 
search: 2 
result: 32 No such object 
  
# numResponses: 1 
  
and when i look at slapd -d -1, it is showing the 
following, amongst other things: 
ldap_read: 
want=8, got=7 
 0000: 30 05 02 01 03 42 
00 
ber_get_next: tag 0x39 len 5 
contents: 
ber_dump: buf=0x80268b80 
ptr=0x80268b80 end=0x80268b85 len=5 
 0000: 02 01 03 42 00 
ber_get_next 
ldap_read: want=8 
error=Resource temporarily unavailable 
ber_get_next on fd 16 failed errno=11 (Resource temporarily 
unavailable) 
  
The database is supposed to be empty, so maybe it should be reporting 
what it is reporting above. 
Thoughts? 
  
Thanks and Kind Regards,
