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.

The entries you're trying to add have these objectClasses:
objectClass: top objectClass: person objectClass: qmailuser objectClass: CourierMailAccount objectClass: inetOrgPerson objectClass: organizationalPerson
However, "person" and "qmailuser" are both structural objectClasses. You can only have one structural objectClass per object. You should probably adapt qmailUser and courierMailAccount to be structural...
Note that a confusing side effect of objectClass inheritance (inetOrgPerson extends organizationalPerson which extends person, etc) is that seemingly several structural objectClasses appear in a single entry. This is in effect just one objectClass, the lowermost in the inheritance chain.

Pardon me please, are you suggesting I should adapt qmailuser and courierMailAccount NOT to be structural since person is already Structural?

If you want to use all these objectClasses on one entry, that's a solution, yes.
It's important to grasp the implications, however, so I'd suggest reading an intro to LDAP schemas.
