LDAP/UX Integrations

Hey all you LDAP guru's. I am attempting (feebly) to set up the Netscape Directory Server 6.x and use the LDAP/UX Integration package. What I am discovering is the documentation for making this work seems to be somewhat disjointed. Or at least I think they are. Here are the steps I have done so far.

1. swinstall the NDS depot
2. run setup for NDS depot
3. select my DN to be o=dolgen.com (our internal domain)
4. Installed the LDAP/UX client services.
5. Run the Setup for LDAP/UX
6. Migrate /etc/passwd to paswd.out
7. ldapmodify the paswd.out file into the directory.

However, step 7 always fails. I can go in the startconsole and enter a user no problem, but when I try to run the ldapmodify it bombs out. Here is the command I am running:

/opt/ldapux/bin/ldapmodify -v -a -c -D "cn=manager, o=dolgen.com" -w ****** -h ipl3k01 -p 389 -f pwd.out

It produces the following output:
ldap_init( ipl3k01, 389 )
ldap_bind: No such object
ldap_bind: matched: o=dolgen.com

What am I doing wrong? I don't have a clue what the No such object is even referring to.

Thanks in advance!
Eric

Here is a manual on the subject. Perhaps it will provide you and alternative, or at least get you better error messaging.

You might be able to talk to a support specialist at the below link who has access to the internal HP database. Worth a shot right?

itrc search page is down. That's where I'd go to find an alternative install procedure.

Steven,
Thanks for the links. I ended up getting frustrated and finally logged a support call w/ HP. It turns out I had everything correct, except for what I was using for my Bind DN.

I was under the impression that I had to include my organization in the syntax for the DN. Apparently the 'root' user for LDAP doesn't belong to my Org, but belongs at the root of the entire directory.

So I changed -D "cn=manager, o=dolgen.com" to -D cn=manager and everything worked just fine after that.
