Try adding the following line to each person: "objectClass: top". Then, for
each person that has an email address add these lines: "objectClass:
organizationalPerson" and "objectClass: inetOrgPerson". Hence:
dn: cn=Thomas Jefferson, dc=people, dc=portalwave, dc=com
objectclass: top
objectclass: person
cn: Thomas Jefferson
sn: Jefferson
dn: cn=Thomas2 Jefferson, dc=people, dc=portalwave, dc=com
objectclass: top
objectclass: person
objectclass: organizationalPerson
objectclass: inetOrgPerson
cn: Thomas2 Jefferson
sn: Jefferson

Subject: newbie question: populating the ldap database
I have just intalled and configured OpenLDAP on my Red Hat 7.
Here is what i did:
1. tar zxvf openldap-stable-20000704.tgz
2. ./configure
3. make depend
4. make
5. make test
6. make install
make madification to the slapd.conf the start the ldap server.
I created the following test.ldif, then using ldapadd command to add the
entry. This works.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------
dn: cn=Thomas Jefferson, dc=people, dc=portalwave, dc=com
objectclass: person
cn: Thomas Jefferson
sn: Jefferson
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------
However, when i added a mail attribute, it fail to add. (note: i'm not
adding the same entry)
The test.ldif file that DO NOT work:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------
dn: cn=Thomas2 Jefferson, dc=people, dc=portalwave, dc=com
objectclass: person
cn: Thomas2 Jefferson
sn: Jefferson
mail: kevyn.nguyen@portalwave.com <mailto:kevyn.nguyen@portalwave.com>
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I got this error:
ldap_add: Undefined attribute type
additional info: attribute type undefined
Does anyone know why it does not work?
