try it with the -c flag. :)

I have a feeling the first record already exists and it errors out and stops. The -c flag continues on error.

My second guess would be you have a space at the end of your entry in your ldif which will give you a similar error.

I have also seen a similar error with I believe it is cache corruption and the database isn't synced with the database cache, and deleting and readding the entry gets rid of that error.

But I could be wrong. It might not be any of those. :)

Hi openldap comunnity,

i am having a hard time to populate my ldap server. Below is what i get:

etosha# ldapadd -x -D 'cn=Manager,dc=cpd,dc=ufv,dc=br' -W -f top.ldif Enter LDAP Password: ldap_bind: Invalid DN syntax (34) additional info: invalid DN

etosha# cat top.ldif etosha# ldapadd -x -D 'cn=Manager,dc=cpd,dc=ufv,dc=br' -W -f top.ldif Enter LDAP Password: ldap_bind: Invalid DN syntax (34) additional info: invalid DN etosha#

Does anybody have any ideia about what is going on?

Thanks.

Don't work as root when you can avoid it. It's so much less fun to be root when you make the wrong typo in a command. Not to mention less secure if you execute a malicious program.
