Since you've been working with LDAP for two years now, it's surprising you don't know how to handle such things.
And AGAIN, as you've been asked many, MANY times,
PROVIDE DETAILS WHEN ASKING A QUESTION. You say NOTHING about how you're trying to add the records, provide a valid sample of the LDIF file, tell us anything about the openLDAP server (version?), or the version/distro of Linux you're using. The ldapadd command has many options...which are you using/trying?? Have you tried ldapmodify?? And you say when you put SOMETHING in the phone field, it works...so what's the question??? You obviously know you need to put some text in that field, so either do so, or don't import that record while it's incomplete.
You say that if you put white-space character, it doesn't work...then ask if you can put "special character" in it. Obviously not, since it isn't valid, as YOU proved when you tried it.
