Re: Problems with initial install of OpenLDAP

That was exactly it. Thank you. I edited the base.ldif file to remove that first entry (nws.noaa) and then the ldapadd worked perfectly.

Your slapd can only hold entries with DNs ending in your suffix. "dc=nws,dc=noaa" is "outside" that subtree, hence it must be elsewhere - but you didn't tell slapd where.

The fix is to either remove the "dc=nws,dc=noaa" entry from your LDIF or to change your suffix to "dc=nws,dc=noaa".
