no such object - was RE: phantom entries

[Edward Dunkle <edward.dunkle@verizon.com>]

I have wiped out my database and am now trying to add a record with ldapadd.
Still not working.  And how does ldapadd know which database to add to when
there are several in the slapd.conf?



See relevant data below:
My ldap.conf:
HOST 127.0.0.1
BASE dc=gte,dc=net

My slapd.conf:
database	ldbm
suffix		"dc=gte,dc=net"
rootdn		"cn=Manager,dc=gte,dc=net"
rootpw		{crypt}xqsAcfT51./Mc
directory	/var/lib/ldap
index	objectClass,uid,uidNumber,gidNumber,memberUid	eq
index	cn,mail,surname,givenname			eq,subinitial
access to attr=userPassword
       by self write
       by anonymous auth
       by dn="cn=Admin,dc=gte,dc=net" write
       by * none
access to *
       by dn="cn=Admin,dc=gte,dc=net" write
       by * read

## two other database entries follow with different suffix values and
directories...


my ldif:
dn: ou=People, dc=gte, dc=net
objectclass: organizationalUnit
objectclass: top
ou: People

ldapadd:
[root@edunkle71 migration]# ldapadd -v -x -D "cn=Manager,dc=gte,dc=net" -W
-f ou.ldif
ldap_initialize( <DEFAULT> )
Enter LDAP Password:
add objectclass:
        organizationalUnit
        top
add ou:
        People
adding new entry "ou=People, dc=gte, dc=net"
ldap_add: No such object

ldif_record() = 32

Use ldapadd(1) to load initial entries... it does more checks
than slapadd(8).  If errors occur, see the Software section
on common errors.
