OpenLDAP setup
Hi,
I am now thoroughly confused after reading a bunch of threads and faq-o-matics. I have been following the administrators guide and I am getting a bunch of conflicting information. I have dloaded openldap-2.0.6 and sleepycat 2.7.7. The test suite ran fine. Can someone please answer a few questions for me? Maybe this could be made more clear in the Administrators Guide? Thanks in advance.
1) Is the distribution supposed to come with the following files: slapd.oc.conf, slapd.at.conf, ldif2ldbm. I can't find these files anywhere.
2) Is it necessary to use ldif2ldm to create the database? I try with ldapadd (using the ldif below) and get a 'no such object' error.
3) Can I just add an entry as below first, or do I need to create some sort of heirarchy first (ie. create an entry for dc=freecds, dc=org first)?
My ldif file:
dn: cn=My Name, dc=freecds, dc=org
objectclass: inetorgperson
cn: My Name
sn: Name
mail: myname@mail.com
employeeNumber: 89
