Emmanuel, Thank yo u - I ended up doing something similar that worked, after starting over with a default config.ldif
1. Created a partition with ID of sevenSeas and Suffix "dc=sevenSeas" 2. After restarting the server, right-clicked on the partition and created an entry with "o=sevenSeas". BTW, when you do this and select New, you are given options to create a New Entry or a New Context Entry. I would have thought Context Entry was the right choice, but just the simple Entry is what worked. 3. Afterwards after adding the following entry to the top of apache-ds-tutorial.ldif it successfully imported: dn: o=sevenSeas,dc=sevenSeas o: sevenSeas objectClass: top objectClass: organization description: The context entry for suffix o=sevenSeas Thank you all for you help. I believe it would help a lot of LDAP nubies if the the tutorial recipe was a bit more precise for importing the example/tutorial. Is there a way to contribute some corrections/clarifications to these links? http://directory.apache.org/apacheds/basic-ug/1.5-sample-configuration.html http://directory.apache.org/apacheds/basic-ug/1.4.3-adding-partition.html I would be happy to do so.
