start using ldap

[Sergiu Dunca <sergiu@art-net.ro>]

Hello everybody

I am new using ldap but I'm pretty familiar with basic and advanced
notions used in ldap sofware and want to use it in my intranet. I will be
gratefull if anyone can help me with a problem that I can't escape of.

I compiled, tested and installed last version of openLDAP on my Redhat 6.2
machine. My slapd.conf file is:

include		/var/local/ldap/etc/openldap/schema/core.schema
defaultaccess	read
pidfile		/var/local/ldap/var/slapd.pid
argsfile	/var/local/ldap/var/slapd.args
database	ldbm
suffix		"dc=art-net,dc=ro"
rootdn  	"cn=Manager,dc=art-net,dc=ro"
directory       /var/local/ldap/var/openldap-ldbm
index   	objectClass     eq
access to * by * write


I start slapd daemon and try to execute the command:
# bin/ldapadd -a <entries.ldiff -v

The response is:
ldap_initialize( <DEFAULT> )
ldapadd: no attributes to change or add (entry="dc=artnet, dc=ro
dc: artnet       o: Artnet       objectclass: organization
objectclass: dcObject")
ldif_record() = 89
#

The file entries.ldiff is:

  	dn: dc=artnet, dc=ro
        dc: artnet
        o: Artnet
        objectclass: organization
        objectclass: dcObject

        dn: cn=Manager, dc=artnet, dc=ro
        cn: Manager
        sn: Manager
        objectclass: person


..and ldapsearch command tells me that no object can be found.

So, what can I do to insert new data over ldap ?

Thanks very much !
Sergiu
