Newbie question

[Olivier Vigneron <ovigneron@axsmarine.com>]

Hello,

as a newbie in ldap in general and in openldap in particular,

I searched a few in the mailing list archives but did not found an answer.

I installed openldap (openldap 2.0.25-7mdk on a mandrake 9) and I 
followed the quickstart guide on openldap.org site.

My problem is:

ldap is answering when asked by another program (ldapsearch in command 
line or any graph client from another machine).

But I did not succeed to add my first entries in my ldap adressbook 
using  ldapadd.

It is clearly something dumb but I do not succeed to make it work.

If anyone as a clue or idea, please let me know.

Thanks and best regards

Olivier.


I used this command line:
./ldapadd -x -D "uid=Manager,o=axsmarine,c=com" -W -f 
/home/ol/Documents/test_ldif.ldif


The test_ldif.ldif file looks like:

###############################"
       # Barbara's Entry
       dn: cn=Barbara J Jensen,dc=axsmarine,dc=com
       cn: Barbara J Jensen
       cn: Babs Jensen
       objectClass: person
       sn: Jensen



###############################"""

So here are the part of the slapd.conf i modified:

#############################################"
database        ldbm
suffix          "dc=axsmarine,dc=com"

rootdn          "cn=Manager,dc=axsmarine,dc=com"

rootpw         test

directory       /var/lib/ldap



       index objectClass       eq
       index uid               pres,eq,sub
       index cn,sn             pres,eq,sub,subany
