Adding entry error

[Rakotomandimby M. <mih...@et...>]

Hi,
Following
http://www.grotan.com/ldap/python-ldap-samples.html#add

I made this:

#############################################
import ldap
import ldap.modlist as modlist
moi="cn=Manager,dc=localdomain"
l = ldap.initialize("ldap://localhost:389/")
l.simple_bind_s(moi,"mypassword")
attrs={}
attrs['objectclass'] =
['top','organizationalRole','simpleSecurityObject']
attrs['cn'] = 'user1'
attrs['userPassword'] = 'user1user1'
attrs['description'] = 'User object for replication using slurpd'
ldif = modlist.addModlist(attrs)
dn="cn=user1,dc=localdomain"
l.add_s(dn,ldif)
#############################################

Ans I get this error:

In [31]: l.add_s(dn,ldif)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do you even have the parent entry in your database? e.g this
ldif-representation:

# Top root node in your D.I.T
dn: dc=3Dlocaldomain
objectClass: top
objectClass: dcObject
dc: localdomain

if not, try add it with ldapadd or slapadd from commandline first.
I find it very handy to try making shure I'm able to do the most basic
things with commandline tools if I get any errors that don't make
sence to me using the ldap-api directly.

Its a good excersize to play around with ldapadd and ldapmodify working
with plain old ldif-files on commandline to get the grips of how LDAP
works.

Well. I did not have it. You're right.

It's a point of view.

The "low-level->high-level" is a good idea to me.
But some of our teachers think that the best one would be
"high-level->low-level".
That is why they introduce algorithm and programation with OCaml and or
Python but not with C.
As well as you are here and advice me, I wil follow you, but my teachers
tell me the opposite :-)
Thank you for your help anyway.
