Dear all,

I had configured openldap in RHEL 5 operating system in master slave. Its working fine and entries are also adding without any problem. But i need to add entries for 15000 users. So it is hard for me to add in ldap browser or in command line for these much users.

So i need to know is there any script or utility is there to add all the users entries at a time like adding all the entries in text file and update it by a command. if it so plz tell me it will be very helpfull for me.

Sure, you can quite easily make a template ldif file, then call

sed -e "s/%USERNAME%/$user/g" template.ldif >> import.ldif

or similar, then use ldapadd to add the ldif file.

Almost none of this is actually related to OpenLDAP, it's mostly a scripting problem, and for that you need to consult a forum for your preferred scripting language (whether that be shell + OpenLDAP utilities, or perl, python, ruby etc.).
