Re: More on 'No such object'

["Chris van der Merwe" <warpspasm@hotmail.com>]

Hi Mike;

Well in my /etc/openldap/slapd.conf I have the following:

#
# See slapd.conf(5) for details on configuration options.
# This file should NOT be world readable.
#
include         /etc/openldap/slapd.at.conf
include         /etc/openldap/slapd.oc.conf
schemacheck     off
#referral       ldap://root.openldap.org/

pidfile         /var/run/slapd.pid
argsfile        /var/run/slapd.args

#######################################################################
# ldbm database definitions
#######################################################################

database        ldbm
suffix          "dc=myorg dc=si"
suffix          "o=MYORG, c=SI"
rootdn          "cn=root, dc=myorg, dc=si"

rootpw          ldappw
# cleartext passwords, especially for the rootdn, should
# be avoid.  See slapd.conf(5) for details.
directory       /var/lib/ldap

I tried to do the file:
dn: dc=myorg, dc=si
objectclass: top
objectclass: organization
o: MYORG

Then I tried:

ldapadd -h localhost -p 389 -f /tmp/newstart

and got:

adding new entry dc=myorg, dc=si
ldap_add: No such object

Then I tried:

ldapadd -g localhost -p 389 -D 'cn=root, o=MYORG, c=SI' -f /tmp/newstart

and I got:

adding new entry dc=myorg, dc=si
ldap_add: No such object

I still havn't given up hope though :-)
