Thanks a lot for your answer. Would you please let me know what do I need in order to use uid for example as the RDN value as I'm a little bit confused where to configure that.

Thanks a lot

Hello all,

I have 2 users with identical Full Name and their ldif change on mail, uid, username and home directory in order to avoid ldap constraints. However, even though I have no other constraints apart from unique_attributes uid mail uidNumber homeDirectory I'm getting the following error and cannot add the 2nd user.

root@masterldap:~# slapadd -l debug.ldif -f /etc/ldap/slapd.conf => hdb_tool_entry_put: id2entry_add failed: DB_KEYEXIST: Key/data pair already exists (-30996) => hdb_tool_entry_put: txn_aborted! DB_KEYEXIST: Key/data pair already exists (-30996) slapadd: could not add entry dn="cn=Full Name,ou=Users,dc=mydomain,dc=com" (line=1): txn_aborted! DB_KEYEXIST: Key/data pair already exists (-30996) root@masterldap:~#

Any ideas how I can see which attribute is causing the problem?

The problem attribute is "cn". Since you are using cn (and not uid, which I would advise) as the RDN value, they must be different. This is why using cn for an RDN value is a bad idea.

I think he wants to say that you need to make the RDN of your users like this uid=<username>,ou=Users,dc=mydomain,dc=com
