Hi ,

I am setting up ldap server on my local linux server. Just I want to add some user entries into the ldap database.

I want to have only two fields like username and password.
Can some body help me in setting up ldap server.



I am getting problem in adding the entries.

Can you give me the diff file.
~

[root@xidc-jds openldap]# ldapadd -f /tmp/newentry -x -D "cn=root,dc=idc,dc=com
" -w secret -v
ldap_initialize( <DEFAULT> )
ldapadd: no attributes to change or add (entry="(null)")
ldif_record() = 89


The contents of diff file are

uid:admin, uidNumber:100,gidNumber:101, cn=admin, objectClass=users
description: Administrator


Thanks
Regards

This is probably not the forum for this but maybe this will help:
First you have to have the schemas available for slapd for you to add accounts for example
these are in my slapd.conf file:
include /etc/openldap/schema/core.schema
include /etc/openldap/schema/cosine.schema
include /etc/openldap/schema/inetorgperson.schema
include /etc/openldap/schema/nis.schema
include /etc/openldap/schema/redhat/autofs.schema
include /etc/openldap/schema/samba.schema
include /etc/openldap/schema/evoldap.schema

The attributes that I add are supported by the schemas

Here is how I add a user account:

ldapadd -c -h <ip address> -x -f file.txt -D "cn=admin,dc=klnc,dc=net" -w <admin passwd>

Contents of file.txt:

dn: uid=brubble,ou=Users,dc=klnc,dc=net
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
objectClass: sambaSAMAccount
objectClass: posixAccount
objectClass: evolutionMailAccount
cn: brubble

The format is very specific and whitespaces can cause it to fail. Hope this gives you a start, there is a steep learning curve.

Which distro are you using ??????

Feedback with your distro.

You better take help of some migration scripts for success in this field. They'll make you learn riding the horse without any prior practice.

Further help will be initiated after you feedback with your distro & version.

But by the time.. You'll be replying to me.
Do confirm...

Where your migration scripts are located.

If you get some error like you need to update database or database not present
then run

Later check out the path of your migration scripts.
It may be

like /usr/share/openldap/migration/

look into phpldapadmin it's a nice web interface into an LDAP server

I am using CentOS 4.2.

I know about migration scripts but I am to add this manually.
. I aded some users who are not system users. But Now i have to ad them in to samba users. I think samba users should also should be system users.

thanks
