RE: ldapadd: no attributes to change or add

[Keith Goettert <KGoettert@SeeBeyond.com>]

Your mixing apples and oranges for adding your "root" record.  As example
you could do:

# Add a .com style root
dn: dc=MegaNova,dc=com
objectclass: top
objectclass: dcObject
dc: MegaNova.com

Or you could

# Add an organizational style root
dn: o=MegaNova,c=USA
objectclass: top
objectclass: organization
o: MegaNova

looking at your slapd.conf, it appears that you need the first one.  Hope
this helps...

Subject: ldapadd: no attributes to change or add


Hello,

I am an LDAP Newbie trying to install OpenLDAP and get it up and running.
I am using stock RedHat rpms for 7.3, I have installed the rpm, edited the
config file to suit me and went ahead to add a record from an ldif file
and it gives me the "ldapadd: no attributes to change or add". I have
searched a bit and did not find any pointers to what I may be facing.

Any help will be much appreciated

My configs,

#/etc/openldap/slapd.conf

include		/etc/openldap/schema/core.schema
include		/etc/openldap/schema/cosine.schema

      dn: dc=linuxense,dc=com

      dc: linuxense

      dn: cn=Manager,dc=linuxense,dc=com
      objectclass: organizationalRole
      cn: Manager

output I am getting (one carriage return added to each line)

[root@swathi root]# ldapadd -vx -D "cn=manager, dc=linuxense,dc=com" -W -f
test1.ldif

ldap_initialize( <DEFAULT> )
