Hi all

Im starting to take the plunge to learn LDAP.

Im reading the "OpenLDAP Software 2.3 Administrators Guide".

Im trying to start out by creating databases and doing a query.

I use debian (testing), and so have editted the slapd.conf file.

============== Cut and Paste database bdb suffix "dc=brent,dc=local" rootdn "cn=Manager,dc=brent,dc=local" #rootpw {MD5}Xr4ilOzQ4PCOq3aQ0qbuaQ== rootpw secret directory "/var/lib/ldap"

database bdb suffix "dc=com,dc=local,dc=edu,dc=org" rootdn "cn=Manager,dc=com,dc=local,dc=edu,dc=org" #rootpw {MD5}Xr4ilOzQ4PCOq3aQ0qbuaQ== rootpw secret directory "/var/lib/ldap"

oot@zion:/etc/ldap# ldapsearch -x -b '' -s base '(objectclass=*)' namingContexts # extended LDIF # # LDAPv3 # base <> with scope baseObject # filter: (objectclass=*) # requesting: namingContexts #

# dn: namingContexts: dc=brent,dc=local namingContexts: dc=com,dc=local,dc=edu,dc=org

# search result search: 2 result: 0 Success

# numResponses: 2 # numEntries: 1 root@zion:/etc/ldap#

So now if i try to add via ldapadd, I get the following

zion:/tmp/ldap# ldapadd -x -D "cn=Manager,dc=brent,dc=local" -W -f /home/bclark/OPENLDAP/test1 Enter LDAP Password: adding new entry "dc=brent, dc=local" ldapadd: Internal (implementation specific) error (80)

And here is my test1 file

zion:/tmp/ldap# cat /home/bclark/OPENLDAP/test1 # Domain Entry dn: dc=brent, dc=local objectclass: dcObject objectclass: organization o: Abc Consulting dc: brent.local

dn:cn=Manager,dc=brent, dc=local objectclass: organizationalRole cn=Manager zion:/tmp/ldap#

I really dont know why this is happening, and what am I doing wrong. I increased the loglevel to 1 and this has sparked an interest.

If someone could help, I would me most grateful.
