Hi,
I am running OpenLDAP 2.2.13 on a CentOS 4.1 box (I am using the CentOS ldap rpm)...
I have come across an issue, that I cannot seem to find the answer for anywhere!...
The problem is that an entry has some how been removed from LDAP well, according to phpLDAPadmin and also ldapsearch.
mytestentry _used to be_ in LDAP... it has now "gone?"
I am using the following ldapsearch string..
ldapsearch -x -b "dc=tree,dc=internal,dc=company,dc=co,dc=nz" "uid=mytestentry"
results in:
# extended LDIF # # LDAPv3 # base <dc=tree,dc=internal,dc=company,dc=co,dc=nz> with scope sub # filter: uid=mytestentry # requesting: ALL #
# search result search: 2 result: 0 Success
# numResponses: 1
However, if I try to add this entry to LDAP using ldapadd
ldapadd -x -D "cn=admin,dc=tree,dc=internal,dc=company,dc=co,dc=nz" -W -f mytestentry.ldif
I get:
adding new entry "uid=mytestentry,ou=Testing,dc=tree,dc=internal,dc=company,dc=co,dc=nz" ldap_add: Already exists (68)
mytestentry.ldif contains:
dn: uid=mytestentry,ou=Testing,dc=tree,dc=internal,dc=company,dc=co,dc=nz uid: mytestentry objectClass: account objectClass: top objectClass: simpleSecurityObject userPassword: {crypt}$1$wveq.Q8L6Hv$aYl5/TmfhgxC0Zs2F41
I have a few questions:
1) Why would this entry be removed? 2) Why when I try and add the entry, it says that it exists? 3) Is there a way to fix it? 4) Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks Antonio Broughton
