Re: Simple LDAP db help

[Keith Conger <kconger@appliedtheory.com>]

Hi,

Thanks again for your help. I tried adding what you gave me and now I get:

[root@test openldap]# ldapadd -x -D "cn=John
Doe,dc=appliedtheory,dc=com" -W -f test3.ldif
Enter LDAP Password: 
adding new entry "dc=appliedtheory,dc=com"
ldap_add: Object class violation

ldif_record() = 65

I have also included test3.ldif.

Thanks Again!
