I don't have a problem with the mechanism of using ldapadd and putting
in the address by hand. If there will be alot of edits and I feel that
phpldamadmin or the Java ldap prowser/editor are clumsy, I'll write a
PHP tool to help me do that.
The problem I have is the initial "getting the first address in" to
actually view it somewhere.
I found that the openldap docs and the RH docs are missing a key syntax
ingredient. I can't believe that I'm the only one with these problems
and I find it harder to believe that the docs are true to the letter.
From the
http://www.redhat.com/mirrors/LDP/HOWTO/LDAP-HOWTO/dbonline.html:
The example given is for the initial entry is:
o=TUDelft, c=NL
objectClass=organization
description=Technical University of Delft Netherlands
cn=Postmaster, o=TUDelft, c=NL
objectClass=organizationalRole
cn=Postmaster
It's the same for the "dc=example,dc=com" however I found that to get ldapadd to work,
those entries need to be changed to:
dn: o=TUDelft, c=NL
objectClass: top
objectClass: organization
description: Technical University of Delft Netherlands
dn: cn=Postmaster, o=TUDelft, c=NL
objectClass: organizationalRole
dn: cn=Postmaster
description: TUDelft postmaster -
postmaster@tudelft.nl
Now, this still doesn't add into the database but I don't get the errors that I got before so at least I feel that those changes are worthwile.
There is/was a Three stooges configuration that was helpful and I still can't get that file to import.
Craig, what are you using your openldap for?
