Re: Problems with LDAP

[Yossef Korang <yossef@yossefk.com>]

After making this adjustment, and running it, now I am running into this
problem:
ldapadd -x -D "uid=root,dc=solomon,dc=physics,dc=sc,dc=edu" -f josh.ldif
-W
Enter LDAP Password:
adding new entry "uid=witthuhn,dc=solomon,dc=physics,dc=sc,dc=edu"
ldapadd: update failed: uid=witthuhn,dc=solomon,dc=physics,dc=sc,dc=edu
ldap_add: No such object (32)

I've looked at the archives, and it there are messages pertaining to them
that say to create the dc's.

Here's the modified josh.ldif that I've made to take that into account(I'm
not sure but this is what I understood it to mean that it should go in this
file):

dn: dc=edu
objectClass: dcObject
objectClass: top
dc: edu

dn: dc=sc,dc=edu
objectClass: dcObject
objectClass: top
dc: sc

dn: dc=physics,dc=sc,dc=edu
objectClass: dcObject
objectClass: top
dc: physics

dn: dc=solomon,dc=physics,dc=sc,dc=edu
objectClass: dcObject
objectClass: top
dc: solomon

dn: uid=witthuhn,dc=solomon,dc=physics,dc=sc,dc=edu
objectClass: top
objectClass: account
objectClass: posixAccount
uid: witthuhn
cn: Josh Witthuhn
uidNumber: 508
gidNumber: 508
homeDirectory: /home/witthuhn/
userPassword: blah
loginShell: /bin/bash
-------
And trying with this, I now get:
ldapadd -x -D "uid=root,dc=solomon,dc=physics,dc=sc,dc=edu" -f josh.ldif
-W
Enter LDAP Password:
adding new entry "dc=edu"
ldapadd: update failed: dc=edu
ldap_add: Server is unwilling to perform (53)
        additional info: referral missing
I find nothing on referral missing, so this is where I am stuck to what is
wrong(and probably I made a wrong assumption above).

Any further help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
