Looks like you are trying to bind to another directory server or at least another database.

You are binding with a dn "cn=root,dc=bsoft,dc=com" that is not in the same context of the entry you are trying to add "uid=sample,dc=soft ,dc=com"

Those two need dc's need to align - or you need to set a referral back to dc=bsoft,dc=com on your dc=soft,dc=com database ...

Make sense?

Hi.....

I am sorry ...

#ldapadd -x -D "cn=root,dc=bsoft,dc=com" -W -f dhi.ldif

ERROR:
adding new entry "uid=sample,dc=bsoft,dc=com"
ldap_add:Undefined attribute type
additional info:loginshell: attribute type undefined.

If i remove the line loginshell in my dhi.ldif file....then

I get ERROR:
homedirectory : attribute type undefined.

My dhi.ldif file

dn: uid=sample,dc=bsoft,dc=com
uid: sample
cn: sample
objectclass: top
objectclass: account
objectclass: posixAccount
objectclass: newPilotPerson
objectclass: shadowAccount
loginshell: /bin/bash
homedirectory: /home/sample
userpassword: sample
l: BLR

Can you tell me... should i make any changes in schema file???....If any please specify.........

additional info:loginshell: attribute type undefined.

if I understand correctly, this error means loginshell isn't in your schema so it can not add it.

Hi......all

Below is my dhi.ldif file

dn: uid=Lin,dc=bsoft, dc=com
uid: Lin
cn: Lin
objectclass: top
objectclass: account
objectclass: posixAccount
objectclass: newPilotPerson
objectclass: shadowAccount
loginshell: /bin/bash
homedirectory: /home/Lin
userpassword: Linmaster

maxlogins: 1
currentlogins: 0
usedtime: 0

Viper_SB is right - you need to add these attributes to your schema - once that is done correctly you will no longer see those errors.

To do that just include another schema file in your slapd.conf:

include /etc/openldap/schema/local.schema

Then create a file in that location called local.schema - make it look like the other included schema files - but don't duplicate the OID's ....

Hi...........
Thank's a lot'zzz for u'r help & guidance.........

I read about Schemas in openldap.org/docs/..............
i was not able to understand , i could only understand very little..............

As you told to include another schema file in slapd.conf

include /etc/openldap/schema/local.schema

This i have done........

I am getting confused how exactly this local.schema file should look like..............

Please , kindly i request you to provide me the local.schema file for my requirnments.i,e (with respect to dhi.ldif file).............

I shall analyse your local.schema...further i can create of my own...........in future..

Please Help me !!!

Waiting for U'r early replies!!!

Thanku

The local.schema file should look like the other schema files in the schema directory.

Just take a look at http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin21/schema.html and see what you can do ...

Hi...friends...............

I studied the complete document of schema.html ....i was very much confused with specifying OID...i am not understanding how exactly i should use & develop my schema file ...with attributetypes & objectclass according to my requirnments...............

I request u to please provide me local.schema according to my dhi.ldif file..........

dn: uid=Lin,dc=bsoft, dc=com
uid: Lin
cn: Lin
objectclass: top
objectclass: account
objectclass: posixAccount
objectclass: newPilotPerson
objectclass: shadowAccount
loginshell: /bin/bash
homedirectory: /home/Lin
userpassword: Linmaster
l: BLR
maxlogins: 1
currentlogins: 0
usedtime: 0
rategroupid: G002

I shall study further..................

I hate to keep pointing you to links - but I hate to type out long replies. This really should help you solve your problems - as I assume you are trying to configure for Solaris authentication on an openLDAP server. All you will need to do is create the file and cut and paste the info provided - then make sure you are including that file in startup:

http://www.ypass.net/solaris8/openldap/nisschema.html

The two schema files you need are dhcp and samba3(if you need to install samba). And then you can add your entries usin the ldapadd command.
