Re: Invalid syntax on ldapadd

I think posixAccount requires homeDirectory as well. W/o that your syntax is invalid because the objectclass is being violated.

        ( nisSchema.2.0 NAME 'posixAccount' SUP top AUXILIARY
          DESC 'Abstraction of an account with POSIX attributes'
          MUST ( cn $ uid $ uidNumber $ gidNumber $ homeDirectory )
          MAY ( userPassword $ loginShell $ gecos $ description ) )

(source: RFC2307 : http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2307.txt)

Hi, I'm very new ldap, and i'm wondering if you guys can help me with something.

I'm going over the some tutorials to setup ldap for authentication. However, I can't seem to be able to add any users or groups.
I'm Solaris 9, w/ openldap 2.3.35.

my slapd.conf looks like:

database bdb
suffix "dc=caplan,dc=org"
rootdn "cn=root,dc=caplan,dc=org"
rootpw <PASSWORD>
directory /usr/local/var/openldap-data
index objecClass,uid,uidNumer,gidNumber eq
index cn eq

the user i'm trying to add is:

dn: uid=ldapauth,dc=caplan,dc=org
objectclass: account
objectclass: posixAccount
objectclass: top
cn: ldapauth
uid: ldapauth
uidNumber: 100
gidNumber: 100

I have no trailling spaces.

my add commands is :
ldapadd -D "cn=root,dc=caplan,dc=org" -f <File>

no matter what i do i get "Invalid syntax"

Thanks in advance,
Vinh
