Hi unibox,

Please don't delete the original question.

Looking at the [SOLVED] tag I can only assume you found the answer to your problem. Next time post this answer so that others might benefit from it (even if you think it was a "stupid/dumb" mistake).

Also: Of the zero-reply list.

Hi druuna

Actually I did not get the answer, that why I deleted my post. No problem I will re-update my question.

@unibox: Looks like you didn't add DN: ou=Info,dc=example,dc=com correctly. Right?

You can easily confirm with slapcat(8).

hi anomie thanks for reply

i already added DN entry's in basci.ldif file.

i.e

cat basic.ldif

dn: dc=example,dc=com
objectClass: dcObject
objectClass: organization
dc: example
o: Mydomain
description: my Corporation

# Hold users
dn: ou=People,dc=example,dc=com
objectClass: organizationalUnit
ou: People

# All info
dn: ou=Info,dc=example,dc=com
objectclass: organizationalUnit
ou: Info

while i am executing "ldapmodify" command, i am getting above mentioned same error.

Hi,

If you want to add
you need to use ldapadd and not ldapmodify

Cheers

Hi bathory thanks for reply

As per your instruction, i tried "ldapadd" also, but i am getting "Already exists" error.

i.e

#ldapadd -v -D "cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com" -x -W -f /etc/openldap/basic.ldif

ldap_initialize( <DEFAULT> )
Enter LDAP Password:*********
add objectClass:
dcObject
organization
add dc:
example
add o:
Mydomain
add description:
my Corporation
adding new entry "dc=example,dc=com"
modify complete
ldapadd: Already exists (68)


ldap search output:

# ldapsearch -x|less

# extended LDIF
#
# LDAPv3
# base <> with scope subtree
# filter: (objectclass=*)
# requesting: ALL
#

# example.com
dn: dc=example,dc=com
objectClass: dcObject
objectClass: organization
dc: example
o: Mydomain
description: my Corporation

# People, int.leadgen.in
dn: ou=People,dc=example,dc=com
objectClass: organizationalUnit
ou: People

# search result
search: 2
result: 0 Success

Hi,

As I clearly mentioned in my previous post, you should add only
So put those 3 lines in a ldif file and use ldapadd to import in the ldap

Hi bathory guru thanks a lot.

now i have successfully added those entry's.

i have some doubts:

i want to keep all (OU) entry's in basic.ldif file.
as per your instruction, i have deleted remaining all entry's except "ou=info" entry, then only i can able to imported without any error.

if any possible to execute "ldapadd" command with all entry's(ou=info ou=People) in basic.ldif file.

Hi,
The ldapadd is supposed to add entries that do not already exist in the directory, so it quits if it finds an already existing dn
You could use the "-c" switch in ldapadd with your basic.ldif, so it skips the existing entries and add only those that do not exist.
