Re: A little bit of help

[ezJoe <ldaplst@netscape.net>]

OK, I did some basic installation, thanks for the links, but I'm having minor
(hopefully) issues:
Running on Red Hat 7.3, openldap rpm 2.0.23-4
Slapd can be started ok.
Here is my slapd.conf:
include        /etc/openldap/schema/core.schema
include        /etc/openldap/schema/cosine.schema
include        /etc/openldap/schema/inetorgperson.schema
####################################################################
# ldbm database definitions
####################################################################
database    ldbm
suffix        "o=blg"
suffix        "dc=websense,dc=blg,dc=org"
rootdn        "cn=ldapadmin,o=blg"
rootpw        secret1
directory    /var/lib/ldap/blg
defaultaccess   read
schemacheck     on
lastmod         on
index   cn,sn,st                pres,eq,sub

Here is my very basic ldif file (blg.ldif, located in the same
directory as slapd.conf (/etc/openldap)
dn: dc=websense,dc=blg,dc=org
objectClass: top
objectClass: dcObject
objectClass: organization
dc: blg
o: blg
description: Big Log Group

dn: o=blg
objectClass: top
objectClass: organization
o: blg
description: Big Log Group

Next thing I do after ldap started is to issue the command:
ldapadd -f blg.ldif -xv -D "cn=ldapadmin,o=blg" -W 
...and it gives me the following error:
add objectClass:
        top
        dcObject
        organization
add dc:
        blg
add o:
        blg
add description:
        Big Log Group
adding new entry "dc=websense,dc=blg,dc=org"
ldap_add: Operations error
ldif_record() = 1

Another debugging info:
According to the tutprial:
 - after I issue ldapadd I should issue slapdd -l blg.ldif -v (which I did,
and I got the following output:
# added: "dc=websense,dc=blg,dc=org" (00000001)
    added: "o=blg"   (00000002)
I restarted ldap and tried to do ldapadd -f blg.ldif -xv -D "cn=ldapadmin,o=blg"
-W 
but it gave the same error.

Could you please tell me what's wrong with the things I'm doing?
Thank you.
