ldapadd/ldapmodify: clarifications needed about these commands
The ldif for ldapmodify has a different syntax than a regular ldif. For example: if you want to add the 'foo' entry with value 'bar' you should write your ldif like this:
dn: cn=ToModify,dc=example,dc=com
changetype: Modify
add: foo
foo: bar
replace: mail
mail: [email protected]
delete: unneededEntry
This ldif will add the attribute foo with value bar, update the mail attribute to [email protected] and delete the unneededEntry. then invoke the ldapmodify command.
ldapmodify -f update.ldif
(if needed with other options like simple auth for example)
Try the -a switch
Add or modify options:
-a add values (default is to replace)
