ldapadd of LDIF files with attribute 'apple-generateduid' not allowed [Resolved]

[Alexander Hartner <alex@j2anywhere.com>]

At it turns out the problem was with the objectClasses. 

I should have used : 

• objectClass: top
• objectClass: person
• objectClass: organizationalPerson
• objectClass: inetOrgPerson
• objectClass: extensibleObject

Instead of 

• objectClass: top
• objectClass: person
• objectClass: inetOrgPerson

Adding the extra attributes to the objectClass resolved this problem.

Thanks for all your help.

Regards

Alex

However when I issue the following ldapadd command I get an error :

ldapadd -D [rootdn] -x -w [secretPassword] -f Import.ldif

Error : 65 Object class violation"
attribute 'apple-generateduid' not allowed


I would have thought that I had specified apple-generateduid, but I
didn't.

This is my import file

I know this might not be the best forum for OS X support, but I am a
bit stuck on this.
Thanks in advance.
