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 ) )

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
