Hi Raed,
I added the following based on your suggestion I received. dn: ou=People
and o=University were already defined in the ldif file. It still gives me
the same error. I've attached the complete ldif file for anyone who's
interested to take a look at it. As I said the files came with the
downloaded openldap-2.0.11 version. May be I'll just go to my local
bookstore and look for a book on ldap. (smiley here)
thanks again
