Re: ldapadd help!

[Jason.McGlamary@Medstar.net]

Yes,
     The distinguished name "dn: cn=Manager,dc=prism,dc=fr" was
successfully added when you ran ldapadd the first time and had your problem
with the "prism" dn.  However, you still have the "Manager" dn listed in
your example ldif file.  So, ldapadd tries to add "Manager", sees that
there's already a "Manager" in the directory, and throws up the error
message.  It's kind of a pain, but ldapadd will bruteforce try to add
entries by treating them as if they are all new.  So, if you have to remove
the entries from your ldif that were successfully added leaving only those
new ones to add.  Easiest way is to cut and paste them into a new ldif and
then ldapadd that.  That way you still have all your entries in case you
want to rebuild the db at a later time.  (very likely considering how early
in development you seem to be).  Just remember, you can only use the
default ldapadd behavior to add entries not already in the directory.  Hope
it helps.

Ok, I modified example.ldif
--
dn: dc=prism,dc=fr
dc: prism
objectclass: dcObject
objectclass: organization
o: Prism Laboratoire

dn: cn=Manager,dc=prism,dc=fr
objectclass: organizationalRole
cn: Manager

----
and I have this error:

[root@azteca openldap]# ldapadd -x -D "cn=Manager,dc=prism,dc=fr" -W -f
example.ldif
Enter LDAP Password:
adding new entry "dc=prism,dc=fr"
ldapadd: update failed: dc=prism,dc=fr
ldap_add: Already exists (68)

---

Any idea?
