Hi Peter,

I have specified the suffix in the configuration file, so when the application makes the call, it should be for adding the entry below the suffix node.

********************************************************************** The important question though is.....on giving the ldapadd command, I get to see the lines "ldap_add: Referral" & "ldif_record() = 10" in the output. WHAT DO THESE TWO LINES INDICATE ? Is it a successful add ?? The subsequent ldapsearch command (details below) doesn't output the entries specified in the ldif file. WHERE AND WHAT MIGHT BE THE PROBLEM ? **********************************************************************

I used ldapadd to add entries from a ldif file. The ldif file is :
_______________________________________________________________________
dn: o=dsm.ics.uci.edu,c=US
objectclass: dcObject
objectclass: organization
dc: dsm.ics.uci.edu
o: dsm.ics.uci.edu
description: DSM Group

dn: cn=Manager,o=dsm.ics.uci.edu,c=US
objectclass: organizationalRole
cn: Manager
description: Directory Manager
_______________________________________________________________________

And here is the result from the ldapadd and sunsequent ldap search commands. _______________________________________________________________________ dsm-surajn@agastya% ./ldapadd -h agastya.ics.uci.edu -p 3089 -f composeldif.ldif -x -D "cn=Manager,o=dsm.ics.uci.edu,c=US" -w secret adding new entry "o=dsm.ics.uci.edu,c=US" ldap_add: Referral

ldif_record() = 10 dsm-surajn@agastya% ./ldapsearch -h agastya.ics.uci.edu -p 3089 -x -b 'o=dsm.ics.uci.edu,c=US' '(objectclass=*)' version: 2

#
# filter: (objectclass=*)
# requesting: ALL
#

# search result
search: 2
result: 10 Referral
ref: ldap://oops.i.did.it.again

# numResponses: 1

Any kind of help on this would be highly appreciated. Thanks,
~suraj

Hi,

does the application create the objects below the suffix you gave in
your database definition.
If this is not the case, the server tells the client to whom to refer to
if a referral clause is given.
Have you tried adding objects by hand using LDIF ?
Did this work ?

Yours
PEter
