Hi,
Just joined this list, so please pardon me for any mistakes.
I have been trying to add "*CourierMailAccount*" object class and "*qmailUser*" object class for days without success. I created a schema file and defined the Attributetypes and Object classes and added the file in the Include statement in slapd.conf but SLAPD does not seem to recognize the new object classes.
When I try to add users to the Database using LDAPADD, I get the error message below:
*"ldap_add: Invalid syntax (21)*
- additional info: objectClass:value #2 invalid per syntax"*
The #2 objectClass is "qmailuser".
Suggestions and advice will be appreciated.
After adding the include to slapd.conf, you did restart slapd?
When adding users via ldapadd, are you sure that there are no trailing spaces after "objectclass: qmailuser"?
If your problem still occurs, try posting an excerpt of the LDIF that fails, and your config.
Yes, I restarted slapd, and I have even rebooted the machine several times since but the problem remains. I am attaching four files in .txt format. The file new-attributes.txt contains the new attributes I added. This file was converted from .schema to .txt. The file new-object.text contains the new objects I added The file slapd.txt is my slapd.conf The file socotherm-africa.txt is the ldif file containing the new users I want to add to the database.
