OpenLDAP error ldapadd: Undefined attribute type (17)

gergaholic · 11-08-2007, 11:36 AM

am working to get OpenLDAP and running and I have run into this issue.

I have read that it relates to having a blank line in between entries but that is taken care of. Any ideas?

#new.ldif contents
dn: cn=Greg,dc=affinitygs,dc=com
cn: Greg
sn: Larson
objectClasserson
ojbectClass:employee
userPassword:XXXXXXX
mail: gregl@example.com
l: somecity
st: ND
postalCode: 58XXX
c: US
dept: techanalyst

I guess this is a typo, else you have to fix it (objectClass: person)
Also along with the error (17) you should get a note about what attribute has the problem.

You need an empty line before each line starting with "dn:"
LDIF separates entries by blank lines.
dn: denotes the distinguished name of an entry and
needs to be the first line of each entry.
example :

##line blank
dn: dc=csc,dc=ku,dc=ac,dc=th
dc: csc
description: LDAP Admin
objectClass: dcObject
objectClass: organizationalUnit
ou: rootobject
##line blank
dn: ou=People, dc=csc,dc=ku,dc=ac,dc=th
ou: People
description: Users of CSC
objectClass: organizationalUnit
