Every ldif entry requires the top object class to be specified. Here is an example:
dn: uid=steves,ou=users,ou=SWG, dc=com
uid: steves
userPassword:: hello123
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
objectClass: top
objectClass: person
objectClass: organizationalPerson
sn: Wiley
cn: Steves
If every type, such as inetOrgPerson, is a subclass of the object class "top", why does the object class have to be specified.
I have looked at the RFC and it does not say why it needs to be there other than it needs to be there.

When "objectClass: top" is included in my ldif file I get an invalidAttributeSyntax error. Full error below.
I have deduced that it is the top attribute because all the other attributes show up normally in the log. The top one shows up as objectClass:: dG9wIA==.
If I remove top it works. If I put top back and import again with the update option it works.

Ldif to create the Group and Users objects which I have tested both as part of the larger ldif file and as two separate imports. This part first then the users second.
dn: ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com
objectClass: organizationalunit
objectClass: top
ou: Groups
dn: ou=Users,dc=example,dc=com
objectClass: organizationalunit
objectClass: top
ou: Users
Following the OpenDS documentation about Inheriting Attributes, i successfully got the attributes i needed in the child entry as a virtual attributes, but i cant find anything about inherting recursivly, which means:
B inherits from A(real attribute), and C inherits from B(virtual attribute)
Here is my config entry:
dn: cn=Inherit From Manager,ou=Organisations,o=group
objectClass: top
objectClass: subentry
objectClass: inheritedCollectiveAttributeSubentry
objectClass: inheritedFromRDNCollectiveAttributeSubentry
cn: Inherit From Manager
subtreeSpecification: { base "ou=Organisations" }
inheritFromBaseRDN: ou=Organisations
inheritFromRDNAttribute: ou
inheritFromRDNType: ou
inheritAttribute: manager
collectiveConflictBehavior: real-overrides-virtual
Here is my entries:
dn: ou=A,ou=Organisations,o=group
ou: A
objectClass: extensibleObject
objectClass: top
objectClass: organizationalUnit
manager: ou=somebody,ou=people
dn: ou=B,ou=A,ou=Organisations,o=group
ou: A
ou: B
objectClass: extensibleObject
objectClass: top
objectClass: organizationalUnit
dn: ou=C,ou=B,ou=A,ou=Organisations,o=group
ou: C
ou: B
objectClass: extensibleObject
objectClass: top
objectClass: organizationalUnit
So the inehritance works from B to A, but not from B to C
I am trying to do this example with an email field :
https://coderwall.com/p/c0w6-q/create-ldap-aliases-in-openldap
This is the .ldif that should create both :
# this is the user
dn: uid=aka,c=VN,ou=users,ou=school,o=vdm,dc=domain,dc=com
objectclass: top
objectClass: extensibleObject
objectclass: posixAccount
objectclass: inetOrgPerson
cn: Alexander Fake
employeetype: developer
gecos: Alexander Fake
gidnumber: 14564103
homedirectory: /home/aka
loginshell: /bin/bash
mail: alexander.fake#domain.com
sn: Fake
uid: aka
uidnumber: 14583105
userpassword: {SSHA}SgmdndrPR5UVLOAmDs5JOJvqr3WmPYob
# this is the alias
dn: mail=alexander.Fake#domain.com,dc=mailAccount,dc=domain.com,dc=mail,dc=domain,dc=com
changetype: add
objectClass: alias
objectClass: top
objectClass: extensibleObject
objectclass: inetOrgPerson
uid: aka
aliasedObjectName: uid=aka,c=VN,ou=users,ou=school,o=vdm,dc=domain,dc=com
I can only import/export ldif, I use phpldapadmin for administration.
When the aliases is craeted it produce the following error :
This update has been or will be cancelled, it would result in an attribute value not being unique. You might like to search the LDAP server for the offending entry.
Does anyone know how to create aliases on openldap and phpldapadmin ?
This is basically correct. Just:
Remove the uid=aka attribute from the aliasedObject. It doesn't need it. It refers to another object which has that UID value.
Also remove inetOrgPerson from the alias. It isn't a person, it's an alias for a person.
The objectClass attribute only needs to contain top and alias; and extensibleObject so you can provide a cn or whatever attribute you like as part of the DN, if you want to do that: it doesn't seem to be necessary judging by my DIT.
Poor quality source material. Don't rely on arbitrary Internet junk. Use the official documentation.
I am trying to modify uid value in Tivoli directory server using API. Please review the below user structure.
dn: uid=user1,cn=demo,o=evault
uid: user1
userPassword: {AES256}mIJFA1UiEMYP6J2dVt3vcg==
objectclass: top
objectclass: demoObjectClass
objectclass: ePerson
objectclass: inetOrgPerson
objectclass: organizationalPerson
objectclass: person
sn: user1
cn: user1
ibm-entryuuid: 134f18c0-b251-1034-8575-a2f4cc94f892
Here i am trying yo change the uid. Is it possible?? Please guide me on this
You must perform a rename on the entry as uid is the "naming attribute".
I'm going to publish a certificate for my email using LDAP.
I already have a LDAP up and running (AD LDS) on windows 2012.
I'm going to add records using ldif file.
Here its contents
dc: dc=mysubdomain,dc=mydomain,dc=com
dn: dc=mysubdomain,dc=mydomain,dc=com
objectClass: top
objectClass: domain
dc: mydomain
dc: mysubdomain
description: Some root stuff
dn: ou=mysubdomaincertificates,dc=mysubdomain,dc=mydomain,dc=com
objectClass: top
objectClass: organizationalUnit
ou: mysubdomaincertificates
dn: Mail=test#mysubdomain.mydomain.com,ou=mysubdomaincertificates,dc=mysubdomain,dc=mydomain,dc=com
objectClass: top
objectClass: person
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
cn: Test Test
sn: Test
Mail: test#mysubdomain.mydomain.com
userSMIMECertificate: #<What to put?>
I'm stuck in compiling my ldif file. As I understand, I need to put some binary encoded in Base64 with some prefix {CERT} or something.
My questions are
Will this ldif file make modifications into the directory?
Do I have problems except userSMIMECertificate field?
For example I'm using dc twice in the domain object, is it ok?
Am I missing some other important line?
What is exact syntax of putting certificate content in the userSMIMECertificate? (I've made a search, but could not find the examples)
Here is your LDIF with the appropriate changes:
dn: dc=mysubdomain,dc=mydomain,dc=com
changetype: add
objectClass: top
objectClass: domain
dc: mysubdomain
description: Some root stuff
dn: ou=mysubdomaincertificates,dc=mysubdomain,dc=mydomain,dc=com
changetype: add
objectClass: top
objectClass: organizationalUnit
ou: mysubdomaincertificates
description: Provide some descriptive text here.
dn: Mail=test#mysubdomain.mydomain.com,ou=mysubdomaincertificates,dc=mysubdomain,dc=mydomain,dc=com
changetype: add
objectClass: top
objectClass: person
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
cn: Test Test
sn: Test
Mail: test#mysubdomain.mydomain.com
userSMIMECertificate: file:///path-cert-file
As a useful supplement to the existing answer from Terry Gardner
To avoid that your ldif depends on an external file, you might want to specify the userSMIMECertificate in such a way:
userSMIMECertificate:: Q29udGVudC1EaXNwb3NpdGlvbjogYXR0YWNobWVudDsKCWZpbGVuY
W1lPXNtaW1lLnA3cwpDb250ZW50LVR5cGU6IGFwcGxpY2F0aW9uL3BrY3M3LXNpZ25hdHVyZTsK
[...]
This is basically the base64-encoded file contents.
In order to get rid of file dependencies, it's easiest to import the ldif with the file dependencies, then export the object to a new ldif. The export should create above format.
