Adding an entry to OpenLDAP
I just Installed OpenLDAP on Ubuntu Server 12.10, and I added an ldif file using slapadd -c -l init.ldif as the following :
dn:dc=tpw,dc=uca,dc=ma
dc: tpw
objectClass: dcObject
objectClass: top
objectClass: domain
dn: ou=people,dc=tpw,dc=uca,dc=ma
ou: people
objectClass: organizationalUnit
objectClass: top
dn: ou=groupes,dc=tpw,dc=uca,dc=ma
ou: groupes
objectClass: organizationalUnit
objectClass: top
dn: uid=admin,ou=people,dc=tpw,dc=uca,dc=ma
uid: admin
sn: Admin
cn: Admin
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
objectClass: organizationalPerson
objectClass: person
objectClass: top
userPassword:: e1NIQX0wRFBpS3VOSXJyVm1EOElVQ3V3MWhReE5xWmM9
mail: [email protected]
givenName: admin
dn: cn=GI,ou=groupes,dc=tpw,dc=uca,dc=ma
uniquemember: uid=admin,ou=people,dc=tpw,dc=uca,dc=ma
cn: GI
objectClass: groupOfUniqueNames
objectClass: top
dn: cn=GP,ou=groupes,dc=tpw,dc=uca,dc=ma
uniquemember: uid=admin,ou=people,dc=tpw,dc=uca,dc=ma
cn: GP
objectClass: groupOfUniqueNames
objectClass: top
dn: cn=GT,ou=groupes,dc=tpw,dc=uca,dc=ma
uniquemember: uid=admin,ou=people,dc=tpw,dc=uca,dc=ma
cn: GT
objectClass: groupOfUniqueNames
objectClass: top
Now my ldap tree looks like this :
Then I tried to add a new inetOrgPerson using Apache Directory Studio, but I got this error :
[LDAP: error code 80 - index generation failed]
Then I tried the same thing using phpLDAPadmin, but I got this error :
Impossible d'ajouter l'objet au serveur LDAP.
LDAP dit :: Other (e.g., implementation specific) error
Erreur numéro :: 0x50 (LDAP_OTHER)
Then I created a file which I named xx.ldif :
dn: uid=xx,ou=people,dc=tpw,dc=uca,dc=ma
cn: XX
givenname: xx
mail: [email protected]
objectclass: inetOrgPerson
objectclass: organizationalPerson
objectclass: person
objectclass: top
sn: XX
uid: xx
userpassword: toor
And I tried to add this entry using this command via terminal :
sudo ldapadd -x -D cn=Manager,dc=tpw,dc=uca,dc=ma -W -f xx.ldif
But I got this error :
ldap_add: Other (e.g., implementation specific) error (80)
additional info: index generation failed
How can I solve this problem ?
PS : In another scenario I deleted my database and I modified the file init.ldif wich contains all the entries I want to add, and I added the entry xx, then I imported my file using the slapadd command, but In this way I have to delete the database every time I want to add a new entry, which is not practical.
Edit1 :
This is the output of the command slapindex :
WARNING!
Runnig as root!
There's a fair chance slapd will fail to start.
Check file permissions!
5370d6f9 /etc/ldap/slapd.conf: line 95: rootdn is always granted unlimited privileges.
5370d6f9 /etc/ldap/slapd.conf: line 112: rootdn is always granted unlimited privileges.

Answer
So take the hints given you by slapindex. Don't run slapd as root, fix lines 95 and 112, and don't run slapd twice, or fix whatever is causing it to think the database is already in use.
