Re: parent does not exist
Leila,
In your LDIF file I do not see where you're defining your organization,
and "organizationalUnit"s!!!
I'm also new to LDAP, but I believe that you will need to first define your
tree structure before loading the ldif file that you show in your email.
Something like the following first needs to be done:
dn: o=University of Michigan, c=US
o: University of Michigan
objectclass: top
objectclass: organization
dn: ou=Groups,o=University of Michigan,c=US
ou: Groups
objectclass: organizationalUnit
dn: ou=People,o=University of Michigan,c=US
ou: People
objectclass: organizationalUnit
dn: ou=Alumni Association,ou=People,o=University of Michigan,c=US
ou: Alumni Association
objectclass: organizationalUnit
Once you load the above ldif, your tree hierarchy is defined and you'll be
able to load the ldif file you mention in your email.

Hi Josh,
Thank you for your answers. I didn't see a 'Michigan list', under the
mailing list section. There's a 'general' list but it seems to be
closed.
In regard to my question as you suggested I'm sending the slapd.conf and a
part of the ldif file because it's very long.

Subject: parent does not exist
Hello all,
I'm new to openLDAP (one week) and since I downloaded and installed the
package on my NT machine I have been reading a lot of the documents on
openldap site. I'm running my second test that came with the package and
have some question. If anyone could help me with the answers or where to
find comprehensive source of information (a book for people new to the
subject) I would greately appreciate.
[oberwetter, josh] For a general intro to LDAP, I read "Understanding and
Deploying LDAP Directory Services" by Timothy Howes et al, and I often
refer to the various RFCs. But you should send general LDAP questions to
the Michigan list.
Answers to OpenLDAP questions can be found in the mailing list archives,
the Admin guide, the FAQ, and whatever (mis)information is lying around
the web. There is no comprehensive source of info for OpenLDAP, unless
you get to know the code :-)
I'm working with openldap2.0.11. I am trying to run one of the test under
(\openldap-2.0.11\tests\data\ ) and get the following error on the client:
adding new entry "cn=All Staff,ou=Groups,o=University of
Michigan,c=US"
ldap_add: No such object
ldif_record() = 32
[oberwetter, josh] Perhaps somebody else knows exactly what tests you're
running. The first tests that I ran are described here
http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin/quickstart.html
Send us the contents of d:\openLDAP\test.ldif up to & including the entry
that fails (cn=All Staff,...), so that people who aren't familiar with the
specific test can help debug this common error.
Or, you might be able to help yourself using the FAQ
http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/343.html
I am issuing the command:
ldapmodify -a -x -v -D "cn=Manager, o=University of Michigan, c=US" -W
-f d:\openLDAP\test.ldif
Chasing through the diagnostics it seems an attempt is made to add cn=All
since it's the parent level of cn=Manager. Then why am I getting
parent does not exist
on the server side?
thanks in advance for any help
