Re: Newbie question: ldapadd and invalid syntax

[David Young <dyoung@nettonettech.com>]

My best guess... uniquemember needs to be a DN, so they need the cn= like:

> uniquemember: cn=Niels Bohr, ou=People, o=JNDITutorial
> uniquemember: cn=Spuds Mackenzie, ou=People, o=JNDITutorial

As for LDIF syntax, look at 'man ldif' or use the man page viewer on
http://www.OpenLDAP.org/software/man.cgi
