Re: Invalid syntax  on ldapadd






I think posixAccount requires homeDirectory as well.   W/o that your 
syntax is invalid because the objectclass is being violated.


        ( nisSchema.2.0 NAME 'posixAccount' SUP top AUXILIARY
          DESC 'Abstraction of an account with POSIX attributes'
          MUST ( cn $ uid $ uidNumber $ gidNumber $ homeDirectory )
          MAY ( userPassword $ loginShell $ gecos $ description ) )

Hi, I'm very new ldap, and i'm wondering if you guys can help me with 
something. 

I'm going over the some tutorials to setup ldap for authentication. 
However, I can't seem to be able to add any users or groups.   
I'm Solaris 9, w/ openldap 2.3.35.   

my slapd.conf looks like: 

database        bdb 
suffix                "dc=caplan,dc=org" 
rootdn                "cn=root,dc=caplan,dc=org" 
rootpw                <PASSWORD> 
directory        /usr/local/var/openldap-data 
index                objecClass,uid,uidNumer,gidNumber eq 
index                cn eq 


the user i'm trying to add is: 

dn: uid=ldapauth,dc=caplan,dc=org 
objectclass: account 
objectclass: posixAccount 
objectclass: top 
cn: ldapauth 
uid: ldapauth 
uidNumber: 100 
gidNumber: 100 

I have no trailling spaces. 

my add commands is : 
ldapadd -D "cn=root,dc=caplan,dc=org" -f <File> 

no matter what i do i get "Invalid syntax" 

Thanks in advance, 
Vinh
