LDIF file in OpenLDAP
 
Hi
I am totally new to OpenLDAP. When i am studying openldap pdf's i find that somefile.ldif contains some entries. For example
Code:
# This is the root of the directory tree
dn: dc=example,dc=com
description: Example.Com, your trusted non-existent corporation.
dc: example
o: Example.Com
objectClass: top
objectClass: dcObject
objectClass: organization
# Subtree for users
dn: ou=Users,dc=example,dc=com
ou: Users
description: Example.Com Users
objectClass: organizationalUnit
# Subtree for groups
dn: ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com
ou: Groups
description: Example.Com Groups
objectClass: organizationalUnit
This file contains 2 OU's Users and Groups. Should we type all this content manually and execute ldapadd/slapadd command? If i want to add another groub or objects to Users OU, should i prepare another sample.ldif fire or what? It was easy to do it in GUI. But i want it to be done in CUI. My whole doubt is about LDIF file. Please clarify my doubt.Thank's in an advance.

You can add through commandline too as shown below an example:
Code:

ldapadd -H ldap://ldaphost.example.com -x -D "cn=jimbob,dc=example,dc=com"
 -f /tmp/addentry.ldif -w dirtysecret

should we create the file "/tmp/addentry.ldif" ? should we add entries in that file and we should exwcute it. Is't it? That's my doubt.
