A correction. The file name used for "ldapadd" command is "test.ldif" and not "mydom.ldif". =====> test.ldif <SNIP> =====> ldapadd root@myhost:/usr/local/etc# ldapadd -x -D "cn=Manager,dc=mydom,dc=com" -W -f mydom.ldif Enter LDAP Password: ldap_bind: Invalid credentials root@myhost:/usr/local/etc# Best regards.
