[IMail Forum] ldapmodify syntax and usage (was slapd.conf)

[Doug Anderson]

OK...this was the slapd.conf thread earlier, but I've progressed (maybe)   Decided Initialize the ldap db after creating an LDIF (with all our info) utilizing the slapcat program. Start with a fresh db and re-import.   Now, how to return the info back in? I understand that the ldif in the slapcat format won't work directly, so I created a new file with the following format   dn: uid=doug.anderson,ou=People,o=mail.ameripride.org changetype: add l: Gotham City st: MN c: USA street: 1000 Mockingbird ln telephoneNumber: 000-000-0000 postalCode: 00000 postalAddress: $$ changetype: modify replace: o o: My Company replace: ou ou: Senior Network Analyst   dn: uid=jon.doe,ou=People,o=mail.ameripride.org changetype: add l: Gotham City st: MN c: USA street: 1000 Mockingbird ln telephoneNumber: 111-111-1111 postalCode: 11111 postalAddress: $$ changetype: modify replace: o o: My Company replace: ou ou: Junior Network Analyst   but when I try to use the ldapmodify -x -f fix.ldif it comes back with: ldap_add: Strong(er) authentication required (8)         additional info: modifications require authentication   or interactively: ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: No such attribute (16)
