Hi Jordan,

Thought I’d give you an update.

Have managed to get the LDIF file loaded – my problem was that there was a group already loaded via smbldap-groupadd called “VPN” and this was causing a conflict. Once I removed this group the ldif loaded ok.

Unfortunately, my Cisco ASA5510 still doesn’t want to play ball. I’ve created an attribute map to the memberOf attribute but it doesn’t seem to read it.

Ho hum. more debugging ahead I think.

Hi Jordan,

Thanks for the response.

That was my original thought as well so I re-edited the ldif file by hand but I’m still getting the same error.

You mentioned that you already had a groupofnames called vpn set up. Maybe I’m missing that step.

Thanks,
Chris.

Usually whenever I see a “bad configuration file” error it usually means that I’ve left some white space at the beginning of a line somewhere. Check your conf file for lines starting with whitespace. Let me know what you find.

Hi Jordan,

This is just what I’ve been looking for. Thanks for this great info.

Am having a few problems adding my ldif file.

I get “memberOf.ldif: line 2: unknown directive outside backend info and database definitions.
slapadd: bad configuration file!”

Any ideas why this should be? My LDAP skills are not all that brilliant…

Not sure if I should be using ldapadd instead?

Cheers,
