Hi.
Sorry, didn't include it into the first posting... I've tried to add such an
entry - didn't succeed.

er:updater# ldapadd -x -D "cn=Manager,dc=orcsoftware,dc=com" -W -f test.ldif
Enter LDAP Password:
adding new entry "dc=orcsoftware,dc=com "
ldapadd: update failed: dc=orcsoftware,dc=com
ldap_add: Invalid syntax (21)
        additional info: objectClass: value #0 invalid per syntax

er:updater# cat test.ldif
dn: dc=orcsoftware,dc=com
objectClass: dcObject
objectClass: organization
o: Orc Software AB
dc: orcsoftware
description: Orc Software AB
