Re: Change a user dn



Hi thanks for the helo I have being tryinn a few things with ldapmodify,

I need to modify the user from 
 dn: uid=user1,ou=People,dc=mydomain,dc=com,
to
 dn: uid=user1,ou=Group1,ou=People,dc=mydomain,dc=com,

I have try some of the following attempts 

dn: uid=user1,ou=People,dc=mydomain,dc=com
changetype: modify
replace: dn
dn: uid=user1,ou=Group1,ou=People,dc=mydomain,dc=com

that according to what i have read it doesnt have work, because dn is not exactly like an attribute

dn: uid=user1,ou=People,dc=mydomain,dc=com
changeType: modrdn
newRDN: uid=user1,ou=Group1,ou=People,dc=mydomain,dc=com
deleteOldRDN: 1

and this ones gives me 

modifying rdn of entry "uid=user1,ou=People,dc=mydomain,dc=com"
rename completed
ldapmodify: Invalid DN syntax (34)
        additional info: invalid new RDN

I dont know how to add an ou to the dn.

Thanks

Maybe,
(do it with ldapmodify, fex.)
dn: uid=user1,dc=tratata,dc=com
changeType: modrdn
newRDN: user2
deleteOldRDN: 1
