New to LDAP. Exported the DIT as an LDIF from Apache Studio. Tried to import the LDIF file. Error occurs:
...
#!ERROR [LDAP: error code 32 - Unable to add entry 'dc=example,dc=com' because its parent entry 'dc=com' does not exist in the server.]
dn: dc=example,dc=com
changetype: add
dc: example
objectClass: domain
objectClass: top
The LDAP server is UnboundID LDAP SDK for Java 3.2.0.
I don't know enough LDAP to fix it.
Should Apache Studio have created dc=com before this entry?
LDIF export does not guarentee ordering. LDIF import assumes ordering.
So to answer your question, yes, you should have created dc=com first.
There is a subtle exception where you can have a dc=example.com as a single node which looks confusing. But periods are legal in a name.

I'm connected to my LDAP connection.
I'm trying to import an LDIF file to it by right clicking and using the wizard.
As I choose the file, check the overwrite option and press OK,
I get the following error:
Error while importing LDIF
javax.naming.NameAlreadyBoundException:
at org.apache.directory.studio.connection.core.io.api.DirectoryApiConnectionWrapper.checkResponse(DirectoryApiConnectionWrapper.java:1359)
And this appears in the Modification Logs tab:
#!RESULT ERROR
#!CONNECTION ldap://192.168.99.100:389
#!DATE 2018-01-24T11:01:17.743
#!ERROR
dn: dc=mycompany,dc=net
changetype: add
dc: mycompany
objectclass: dcObject
objectclass: organization
o: mycompany.net
I tried googling around with the error but can't find anything on this particular matter.
Also, as I choose the LDIF-file, even after uninstalling and reinstalling the program, it warns already upon selecting the LDIF-file that "selected logfile already exists".
The description of javax.naming.NameAlreadyBoundException sounds like this is a weird name for the LDAP result code entryAlreadyExists(68) returned when processing the LDAP Add Operation.
It means just that: An LDAP entry with this DN already exists. You cannot add a second one with the same DN.
I'd like to write a ldapmodify command and pass in a ldif file to move computers to a new OU. This means I need to change the DNs.
Example:
CN=joesworkstation,OU=training,OU=computers,DC=my,DC=domain,DC=com
to
CN=joesworkstation,OU=laptops,DC=my,DC=domain,DC=com
The man ldif shows how to rename a CN for a user, but not changing a DN for a computer. Based on their example though, this is my ldif file format guess:
dn: CN=joesworkstation,OU=training,OU=computers,DC=my,DC=domain,DC=com
changetype: modify
replace: dn
dn: CN=joesworkstation,OU=laptops,DC=my,DC=domain,DC=com
deleteoldrdn: 1
Is this the most correct way to do this?
Depending on LDAP Server Implementation an LDIF should be something like:
dn: CN=joesworkstation,OU=training,OU=computers,DC=my,DC=domain,DC=com
changetype: moddn
newsuperior: OU=laptops,DC=my,DC=domain,DC=com
# remove old RDN entry
deleteoldrdn: 1
There could be restraints on such activities.
Perform due diligence.
There maybe better methods for Microsoft Active Directory.

I was able to get a solution to work finally today.
To update the DN of computer objects I used the following LDIF formatted file:
dn: CN=joesworkstation,OU=training,OU=computers,DC=my,DC=domain,DC=com
changetype: moddn
newrdn: joesworkstation
deleteoldrdn: 1
newsuperior: OU=laptops,DC=my,DC=domain,DC=com
This worked quite well and kept all the values of the attributes of the computer object in tact as well.
I'm trying to setup an LDIF file which shall add a new attribute value to an existing node. The attribute is a mandatory attribute of custom objectclass.
Here is the contents of the LDIF file 'add.ldif':
dn: cn=hna,cn=Users,DC=lan,DC=test,DC=de
changetype: modify
add: objectclass
objectclass: MyCustomObjectClass
-
add: myCustomAttribute
myCustomAttribute: someValue
-
Problem: when I try add that to the LDAP server using
ldapmodify -h ... -D ... -w ... -x -f add.ldif
I get the error message
ldap_modify: Objectclass violation (65)
additional info: 00002014: objectclass_attrs: attribute 'myCustomAttribute'
on entry 'cn=hna,cn=Users,DC=lan,DC=test,DC=de' does not exist in the
specified objectclasses
When I leave out the 'add' of 'myCustomAtribute' then of course then I get:
ldap_modify: Objectclass violation (65)
additional info: 00002014: objectclass_attrs: at least one mandatory attribute
('myCustomAttribute') on entry 'cn=hna,cn=Users,DC=lan,DC=test,DC=de'
wasn't specified!
Any idea what is wrong with my approach?
ldapmodify is the one from OpenLDAP; the server is a Samba V4 LDAP.
This should work:
dn: cn=hna,cn=Users,DC=lan,DC=test,DC=de
changetype: modify
add: objectclass
objectclass: MyCustomObjectClass
add: myCustomAttribute
myCustomAttribute: someValue
There MUST be an empty line after the last line.
The "-" is only needed if you want to perform separate modify operations and have them be atomic. (ie all work or all fail).
As adding the objectclass requires MUST attributes must happen in the same modification.
By the way I have noticed that some ldapmodify programs do not handle these properly.

I defined an object class and want to use it in my organizationalUnit. But as I attached the screenshot, I can't see my object class(aibu-staff) in the entry list.
When I try to import LDIF file into DIT, getting an error like this:

Windows has a poss-Superiors attribute that defines what kind of objects that can be the parent of an object. You might need to add organizational unit.
You need to refresh the schema object before you can see the user defined object. I was always able to do this without any problems. (Programmatically using JNDI as well).
I am working now with the Apache Directory Server. I am a freshman in LDAP.
After few paragraphs of reading about it I noticed that I need my own tree to particular case that I want to design. For know, let's say I have some domain bubble.com. I want to create dc object for it dc=buble, dc=com. When I try to do so using Apache Directory Studio I get the following error:

To be honest, I don't really understand what is going on. What is the idea of partitions?Is it possible to create own dc in such way? Or maybe do I have to put everything into ou=schema or ou=system? What is the purpose of ou=schema and ou=system, present in ADS by default?
dc=bubble+dc=com is a distinguished name with a multi-valued relative distinguished name, and no parent. The DIT must have a suffix or namingContext hosted by a backend and then you could add the entry as a subordinate to that suffix or namingContext, for example, dc=bubble+dc=com,o=my-suffix.
You need to restart apacheds service on remote server, this tutorial explains in details: https://technology.amis.nl/2014/10/22/getting-started-with-apacheds-ldap-server-and-directory-studio/
Create data partition with the suffix "dc=bubble,dc=com".
