5:54 a.m.
when am trying to add ldapuser.ldif am getting this error.
[root@server ~]# ldapadd -x -D "cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com" -W -f
/etc/openldap/ldapusers.ldif
Enter LDAP Password:
adding new entry "uid=ldapuser,ou=People,cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com"
ldap_add: No such object (32)
matched DN: cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com
This is my ldapuser.ldif
dn: uid=ldapuser,ou=People,cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com
uid: ldapuser
cn: Manager
ou: People
objectClass: account
objectClass: posixAccount
objectClass: top
objectClass: shadowAccount
userPassword: {crypt}c3ZWmT7fM2thY
shadowLastChange: 13927
shadowMax: 99999
shadowWarning: 7
loginShell: /bin/bash
uidNumber: 507
gidNumber: 100
homeDirectory: /home/ldapuser
And is it necessary to extract the information of ldapuser from /etc/passwd
file and for
linux root account and extracted the /etc/passwd data into an ldif file and
imported to
that database.

The logical conclusion from the error message above is that
ou=People,cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com doesn't exist.
This is my ldapuser.ldif
dn: uid=ldapuser,ou=People,cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com
This is a bit of a weird structure ...
uid: ldapuser
cn: Manager
ou: People
objectClass: account
objectClass: posixAccount
objectClass: top
objectClass: shadowAccount
userPassword: {crypt}c3ZWmT7fM2thY
shadowLastChange: 13927
shadowMax: 99999
shadowWarning: 7
loginShell: /bin/bash
uidNumber: 507

If you want to create the directory /opt/myapp/foo, you need to
create /opt/myapp first (ok, so mkdir -p lets you do it in one command).
Similarly, no matter how you are creating accounts, the parents need to be
created. The PADL migration tools will create some of them for you
(migrate_base.pl), but they do make some assumptions ... and you have to run
the tools in the right order.
Note: you may want to look at all the features before doing a final migration
(objectclass inetOrgPerson may be preferable over objectclass account).

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Are you sure you want this tree structure?
