Hi,
I want to create a new distinguishedName as follows (NOT as "dn: cn=testUser,ou=testOU,dc=test,dc=local"),
"myNewDN: cn=testUser,ou=testOU,dc=test,dc=local"
I have got a ldif with similar definition to import. I googled and found lot of examples related to "attributetype" and "objectClass" only, not related to this. Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks, Jami
Assuming that the root of your directory is dc=test,dc=local then you need to created an entry for ou=testOU before you attempt to create the entry for cn=testUser.
For example you might try:
ldapadd -h somehost -b dc=test,dc=local<<EOF dn: ou=testOU,dc=test,dc=local objectClass: top objectClass: organizationalUnit ou: testOU
dn: cn=testUser,ou=testOU,dc=test,dc=local objectclass: top objectclass: person cn: testUser sn: Smith EOF
Of course, you will need to bind to the directory some credentials that will allow you to write to the directory.
