I am unable to add any entries to my Openldap server. Here is the error message that I'm getting:

ldap_bind: Server is unwilling to perform (53) additional info: operation not supported within naming context

I have no idea what this means.

Here is my configuration file (slapd.conf):

# # See slapd.conf(5) for details on configuration options. # This file should NOT be world readable. #

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

# Allow LDAPv2 client connections. This is NOT the default. allow bind_v2

# Do not enable referrals until AFTER you have a working directory # service AND an understanding of referrals. #referral ldap://root.openldap.org

# The next three lines allow use of TLS for encrypting connections using a # dummy test certificate which you can generate by changing to # /etc/pki/tls/certs, running "make slapd.pem", and fixing permissions on # slapd.pem so that the ldap user or group can read it.

Here is the ldap.conf file:

#SIZELIMIT 12 #TIMELIMIT 15 #DEREF never

And here is an example entry that I'm trying to add;

dn: uid=aswearngin,ou=People,dc=rcf,dc=unl,dc=edu uid: aswearngin cn: Amanda surname: Swearngin title: Undergrad groupName: swanson mailLocalAddress: mandamarie05@hotmail.com telephoneNumber: 555-5555 department: Computer S campus: UNL-City college: Arts & Sciences objectClass: account objectClass: posixAccount objectClass: top objectClass: shadowAccount userPassword: {crypt}$1$bGtPvMog$k25rfZEgKjlvsdNb8r1BX0 shadowLastChange: 14154 shadowMax: 99999 shadowWarning: 7 loginShell: /bin/bash uidNumber: 505 gidNumber: 506 homeDirectory: /home/aswearngin

This is the command that I'm using along with several variations of this:

ldapadd -x -D "cn=Manager, dc=rcf, dc=unl, dc=edu" -W -f mysqlpasswd12.ldif

I hope this is enough information to give you a sense of my situation. I am new to this and I am really confused as to how it works, so it would be awesome if someone could help me with this.

Thanks

Amanda
