A.5. Adding Entries
There are two ways to add entries using LDAP client tools:
ldapaddldapmodify -a
Both
ldapmodify -a and ldapadd are exactly the same; the only difference is that with ldapmodify, the -a option explicitly states that it is an add operation. With ldapadd, the -a option is implied.
The example using
ldamodify -a is given in Section 3.2.4.1, “Adding Entries Using ldapmodify”. To add entries using ldapadd, use the same options and format as ldamodify -a:
ldapadd -D "cn=directory manager" -w secret -p 389 -h server.example.com -x -f new.ldif ldapadd -D "cn=directory manager" -w secret -p 389 -h server.example.com -x dn: uid=jsmith,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com objectclass: inetOrgPerson objectclass: person objectclass: top uid: jsmith sn: Smith givenname: John mail: jsmith@example.com cn: John Smith
