With openldap 2.3 the following ldif would load fine with ldapmodify:
dn: uid=panderson,ou=People,dc=mdah,dc=state,dc=ms,dc=us
changetype: modify
sambaProfilePath: \\preshs\profiles\panderson
sambaHomePath: \\preshs\panderson
sambaLogonScript: scripts\panderson.bat
sambaHomeDrive: R:
Over the weekend I upgraded to OpenLDAP 2.4.12. I was googling and I
think my ldif now needs to look like this, but I get an error when
trying to load it, and I'm not sure why, any ideas?
dn: uid=panderson,ou=People,dc=mdah,dc=state,dc=ms,dc=us
changetype: modify
replace: sambaProfilePath
sambaProfilePath: \\preshs\profiles\panderson
-
replace: sambaHomePath
sambaHomePath: \\preshs\panderson
-
replace: sambaLogonScript:
sambaLogonScript: scripts\panderson.bat
-
replace: sambaHomeDrive
sambaHomeDrive: R:
[root@roark ldap]# ldapmodify -D
"cn=Manager,dc=mdah,dc=state,dc=ms,dc=us" -w xxxxxxxxxxx -x -v -f
profilepaths.ldif
ldap_initialize( <DEFAULT> )
ldapmodify: invalid format (line 5) entry:
"uid=panderson,ou=People,dc=mdah,dc=state,dc=ms,dc=us"
if I take out the lines that are only a - and run it, it only replaces
the first attribute:
[root@roark ldap]# ldapmodify -D
"cn=Manager,dc=mdah,dc=state,dc=ms,dc=us" -w xxxxxxxxxxx -x -v -f
profilepaths.ldif
ldap_initialize( <DEFAULT> )
replace sambaProfilePath:
\\preshs\profiles\panderson
modifying entry "uid=panderson,ou=People,dc=mdah,dc=state,dc=ms,dc=us"
modify complete
how can I get ldapmodify to replace all 4 lines in one ldif file?

That input looks okay to me and similar looking input works with
ldapmodify in my testing. My guess is that there's something invisible in
the file that's breaking the parse. For example, trailing whitespace on
the "-" lines is invalid and will result in errors like the above. I
suggest you look at the output of
cat -vet profilepaths.ldif
and make sure the '$' that that command puts at the end of each line is
where you expect it to be and that there's no otherwise hidden control
characters.

thanks, cat'ing it looks ok to me, each line ends in ^M$ with no whitespace.

That is indeed compliant with the LDIF specification. A quick check of
the ldapmodify source shows that it does not comply and will fail to
recognize a "-" line that has a trailing ^M.

thanks, cat'ing it looks ok to me, each line ends in ^M$ with no
whitespace.
While LDIF may allow ^M, in general it is probably a good idea to not consider
the presence of DOS line endings as "ok" (e.g., you will have problems with
executing scripts by abusing the "hashbang" to invoke the interpreter etc.).

In the meantime, while ldapmodify does not comply (as Philip pointed out),
convert the file to unix format with dos2unix or similar.

Thanks, that worked! I never thought to try that.
