adding more users in LDAP servers and clients


Dear All,
I installed and configured LDAP server and client on RHEL5 successfully. Problem is that when I add more than one user on server and clients, It shows error 'invalid user'.

When I run the command:-
#chown -R user:users /home/user, It shows error 'invalid user'. Please help me step by step for adding and modifying more users in ldap servers.

Hi,

To add users in ldap, you need to create a ldif file containing the users attributes. Have a look here for details
