I am totally new to this whole ldap thing. Currently I have got a pre installed openldap server on a Suse box. The server seems to run fine. I am following the Quick-Start Guide. When I try to add initial entries to my directory using ldapadd -x -D "cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com" -W -f /home/albert/ldap/example.ldif, the system prompts me for LDAP Password. I enter "secret".

Pretty much debug information but still don't have a clue how to fix it.
Any help would be very much apreciated.
