Re: ldap_add: Invalid syntax

["Jim Hud" <jdhz@btinternet.com>]

I think you need to do something like:

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

dn: o=Example company,dc=example, dc=com
objectclass: top
objectclass: dcObject
objectclass: organization
dc: Example company

dn: cn=Manager, dc=example, dc=com
objectclass: organizationalRole
cn: Manager

dn: cn=Person1, o=Example company,dc=example, dc=com
objectclass: top
objectclass: person
objectclass: organizationalRole
cn: Person1

The main point is you can't use o: until it has been defined, hence the
invalid syntax.

It would be nice it if told you which line it did not like.

Goo luck
