[frederick van targero]

I edit the itmes in /etc/openldap/slapd.conf

suffix "dc=mydomain,dc=com"
rootdn "cn=Manager,dc=mydomain,dc=com"
rootpw secret
directory /var/lib/ldap
then run /sbin/slapd,with port 389 response for telnet???

run command for basic search
ldapsearch -x -b '' -s base "dc=mydomain,dc=com" '(objectclass=*)' namingconectext
return;

output as:

version: 2

#
# filter: (objectclass=*)
# requesting: namingContexts
#

#
dn:
namingContexts: dc=mydomain,dc=com

# search result
search: 2
result: 0 Success

# numResponses: 2
# numEntries: 1

seems ok, then i edit Manager.ldif???
dn: dc=mydomain,dc=com
objectClass: dcObject
objectclass:organization
o: mydomain
dc: mydomain
dn: cn=Manager,dc=mydomain,dc=com
objectClass:organizationalRole
cn: Manager
however, i can not found the program as ldif2ldbm??? anyway, i run :
ldapadd -x -D 'cn=Manager,dc=mydomain,dc=com' -W -f /root/Manager.ldif
Enter LDAP Password:
(once i enter the password as 'secret', it will quit, no enter then return, seems ok)
echo:
adding new entry "dc=mydomain,dc=com "
ldap_add: Undefined attribute type
additional info: dn: D?
ldif_record() = 17

Hi,
ldap_add: Undefined attribute type
ldap_add: additional info: attribute type undefined

Reason:

You've defined attribute which doesn't exist in any schema currently used.

Suggestions:

Missing or mispelled attribute name.
* Check both input LDIF and schema for misspelling attribute name.
* Check slapd.conf, if schema you use is activated in slapd.conf(5) ( by usage include directive ).

Hi,
OpenLDAP documentation has to improve. Still
some are ok.
http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin/schema.html
First of all , Read general LDAP documents and
RFCs more to understand the idea of LDAP.
