Hi,

I want to create a new distinguishedName as follows (NOT as "dn: cn=testUser,ou=testOU,dc=test,dc=local"),

"myNewDN: cn=testUser,ou=testOU,dc=test,dc=local"

I have got a ldif with similar definition to import. I googled and found lot of examples related to "attributetype" and "objectClass" only, not related to this. Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks, Jami

Assuming that the root of your directory is dc=test,dc=local then you need to created an entry for ou=testOU before you attempt to create the entry for cn=testUser.

For example you might try:

ldapadd -h somehost -b dc=test,dc=local<<EOF dn: ou=testOU,dc=test,dc=local objectClass: top objectClass: organizationalUnit ou: testOU

dn: cn=testUser,ou=testOU,dc=test,dc=local objectclass: top objectclass: person cn: testUser sn: Smith EOF

Of course, you will need to bind to the directory some credentials that will allow you to write to the directory.

Hi B,

May thanks for your reply.

You are right, I was looking to replace "dn:" with "myNewDN:". However, i have got the solution. I have added the following to schema,

### attributetype ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.6863.2.3.339 NAME 'myNewDN' DESC 'Test DN replacement' SUP distinguishedName ) ##

Cheers........JAMI.

Sorry, I don't understand what the problem is. Do you wish to replace "dn:" with "myNewDN:" ?

Perhaps you should show parts of the LDIF file in question, and what you wish to accomplish, so your question becomes more clear.
