Hi, I am working through a book (Mastering OpenLDAP, Packtpub) which is
based on openldap 2.3.
The book talks in chapter 3 how to modify/add/delete attributes for a
dn. It instructs to put the bellow in an ldif file and read it with
ldapmodify. The writerś point here is that I am supposed to add both a
"description" and "title" without separating out the additions with a
dash (-).
It never works for me and always comes with a syntax error.
non working ldif file:
dn: uid=nicholas,ou=Users,dc=home
changetype: modify
add: description title # <- 2 attributes
description: This is a test
title: Cartesian philosopher
Error: ldapmodify: wrong attributeType at line 4, entry
"uid=nicholas,ou=Users,dc=home"
The ldif file that does work is below.
Working ldif file:
dn: uid=nicholas,ou=Users,dc=home
changetype: modify
add: description
description: This is a test
-
add: title
title: Cartesian philosopher
Now am I doing something wrong, is the book using functionality that is
not available in openldap version 2.4 or something else?
Any pointers and help much appreciated.
Thx
