Hi, I am working through a book (Mastering OpenLDAP, Packtpub) which is based on openldap 2.3.
The book talks in chapter 3 how to modify/add/delete attributes for a dn. It instructs to put the bellow in an ldif file and read it with ldapmodify. The writerĊ point here is that I am supposed to add both a "description" and "title" without separating out the additions with a dash (-). It never works for me and always comes with a syntax error. non working ldif file: dn: uid=nicholas,ou=Users,dc=home changetype: modify add: description title # <- 2 attributes description: This is a test title: Cartesian philosopher Error: ldapmodify: wrong attributeType at line 4, entry "uid=nicholas,ou=Users,dc=home" The ldif file that does work is below. Working ldif file: dn: uid=nicholas,ou=Users,dc=home changetype: modify add: description description: This is a test - add: title title: Cartesian philosopher Now am I doing something wrong, is the book using functionality that is not available in openldap version 2.4 or something else? Any pointers and help much appreciated. Thx infirit
