change the dot after Manager to a comma.

>>ldapadd -x -D "cn=Manager.dc=pucsd,dc=com" -W -f example.ldif

Could you try increasing your debug/logging level and see what the log file show and post it here?

Dec 22 11:43:30 fedora gconfd (root-2979): Resolved address "xml:readwrite:/root/.gconf" to a writable configuration source at position 0

[root@fedora}

this is log message , after executing the command.

sorry actually i posted same question twice.

after removing . with , it gives

>>>Enter LDAP Password:
ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)

That's a "bad password" error. Do you actually have the line

passwd secret

in your slapd.conf file?

You need to replace the word "secret" with the output of a slappasswd command, as detailed in the documentation and man pages of slapd.conf and slappasswd.

For example, if you want your password to be "pastfarian", you type

slappasswd -s pastfarian

and it returns

{SSHA}nGLy56L1qUD6brnoV9m5ufYumTy05YIt

If you really want to put a cleartext password in there, which is a bad idea, you'd use the syntax

passwd {cleartext}secret

Hope this helps,

I got that error when the password didn't match in the admintools.conf file. Make sure they match.
