Pierangelo,

This output is not useful.

I'm sorry.

First of all, can you tell what ldapadd you're using? Please make sure you run the version of ldapadd that comes with OpenLDAP sources you built.

I can confirm that ldapadd was built alongside slapd whose version I stated in my original post (2.3.35).

As I'm not at home at the moment, the only thing I can do is extract the syslog of that import in question which admittedly doesn't say much, however, here it goes:

Raphael,

My new crystal ball tells me that you are not saying the essential part of the problem: you are using back-ldif, isn't it ?

It is! Did I miss a hint which would have told me not to use back-ldif or use it differently?
