ldap basic

[Tony Heaton]

A little more information is need to diagnose the problem.

The ldapadd command must match your slapd.conf and ldif entries.  Below
is an example

slapd.conf:

<snip>

access  to *
        by * read
        by dn.base="cn=Manager,dc=frop,dc=net" write
        by self write
        by anonymous auth

<snip>

database        bdb
suffix          "dc=frop,dc=net"
rootdn          "cn=Manager,dc=frop,dc=net"

<snip>


initial.ldif:
dn: dc=frop,dc=net
objectClass: dcObject
objectClass: organization
o: LDAP
dc: frop

dn: cn=Manager, dc=frop,dc=net
objectClass: organizationalRole
cn: Manager

dn: ou=People, dc=frop,dc=net
objectClass: top
objectClass: organizationalUnit
ou: People

dn: ou=Groups, dc=frop,dc=net
objectClass: top
objectClass: organizationalUnit
ou: Groups


ldapadd command:

ldapadd -x -D "cn=Manager,dc=frop,dc=net" -W -f initial.ldif
