This is my ldif file, here i have used objectclass as person and i have included attribute mail and i got the error.
 
I had tested by adding objectClass as inetOrgPerson and i got the below error.
 
ldap_modify: Cannot modify object class (69)
        additional info: structural object class modification from 'person' to '
inetOrgPerson' not allowed

 What i need to do for adding this attribute. tell me the correct objectclass for this attribute.

Most people use object class 'inetOrgPerson' for adding attribute 'mail' to user/person entries. Since you don't provide an example entry nobody can tell what's right for your data.

Ciao, Michael.
