Adding and Modifying Entries Using ldapmodify
23
• If the server detects an attribute or object class in the entry that is not known to the server, then
the modify operation will fail when it reaches the erroneous entry. All entries that were processed
before the error was encountered will be successfully added or modified. If you run
ldapmodify
with the
-c
option (do not stop on errors), all correct entries processed after the erroneous entry will
be successfully added or modified.
• If a required attribute is not present, the modify operation fails. This happens even if the offending
object class or attribute is not being modified.
NOTE
To create the root entry a database suffix (such as
dc=example,dc=com
) using
ldapmodify
, you must bind to the directory as the Directory Manager.
2.2.4.1. Adding Entries Using ldapmodify
Typically, to add the entries using
ldapmodify
, specify the DN and password to bind to the Directory
Server, the port and host of the Directory Server, and the LDIF file to use. For example:
ldapmodify -a -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w King-Pin -h cyclops -p 845 -f new.ldif
This
ldapmodify
example has the following values:
• The entries to be created are specified in the file
new.ldif
. (In this example, the LDIF statements
in the
new.ldif
file do not specify a change type. They follow the format defined in
Section A.1,
“About the LDIF File Format”
.)
• The Directory Manager is a database administrator who has the authority to modify the entries, and
its password is
King-Pin
.
• The hostname is
cyclops
.
• The server uses port number
845
.
Table 2.2, “ldapmodify Parameters Used for Adding Entries”
describes the
