Hi

To add an object, use ldapadd. If you want to use ldapmodify, you must add some keywords in your ldif file to specify you want to add each object. I don't remember the syntax.

Hi,

I a newbie and i'm trying to implement openldap. i'm trying to add a new ou=people under dc=test,dc=com using the following

ldapmodify -x -D "cn=Manager,dc=test,dc=com" -W -f /root/Desktop/example.ldif

it says

modifying entry "dc=test,dc=com"

modifying entry "cn=Manager,dc=test,dc=com"

modifying entry "ou=people, dc=test,dc=com" ldap_modify: No such object (32) matched DN: dc=test,dc=com

My example.ldif file is as follows

dn: dc=test,dc=com objectclass: dcObject objectclass: organization o: google dc: test

dn: cn=Manager,dc=test,dc=com objectclass: organizationalRole cn: Manager

dn: ou=people, dc=test, dc=com objectClass: organizationalUnit ou=people

My Slapd.conf file is like this( just pasting what is required)

include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/core.schema include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/cosine.schema include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/inetorgperson.schema include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/nis.schema

database bdb suffix "dc=test,dc=com" rootdn "cn=manager,dc=test,dc=com"

Am i missing any schema or anything wrong in my ldif file.

Plz Help :)

Thanks in advance. Abdul.

You can't modify something that doesn't exist. Try ldapadd instead of ldapmodify?
