Re: ldif



ldif2ldbm does not exist with openldap 2.x.
Use slapadd instead !
/usr/sbin/slapadd -l your_ldif_file

Hi all,

have you created  your database yet?
if no, you must first use:

   ldif2ldbm -i <your file>.ldif

this command will create your *.dbb files, but you
must add with your racine, the administrator of your
database like this :

dn: dc=com
objectclass: top
objectclass: dcObject
dc: com

dn:cn=admin,dc=com
cn:admin
objectclass:organizationalRole

and after that, you can use ldapadd to use other
entries.

hope this will helps
