importing ldif

hi,

I am getting an "additional info: naming attribute 'uid' is not present in entry" error when importing an ldif file.

here is the sample entry:

dn: uid=testuid,ou=testou,dc=testdomain,dc=com cn: testcn objectClass: top objectClass: person objectClass: organizationalPerson objectClass: inetOrgPerson objectClass: OfficePerson mail: test@testdomain.com URL: http://www.testdomain.com o: test givenName: testname initials: testinitial sn: testsn ou: testou

i could add a line: uid: testuid under the dn and it imports just fine but the ldif file has at least 2000 entries. is there an easier way to go about this.

any help would be appreciated in pointing me to the right direction

thank you
