When Tried to Do ldapadd got this error ldap_add: No such object (32)

Question

I have Following Entries in my slapd.conf

#######################################################################
# ldbm and/or bdb database definitions
#######################################################################
#backend        hdb
database    bdb
suffix      "dc=example,dc=com"

database monitor

access to *

        by dn.exact="cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com" read
        by * none

When i try to write following command

ldapadd -x -W -D "cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com" -f ldapuser100.ldif

I got following error:

Following is the debug:

The contents of the LDIF file have to be sensitive to your directory. It looks (though you haven't posted what is in the ldif file, so I really can't tell what you are trying to do) as though you are trying to add a user within ou=People,dc=example,dc=com, but either ou=People doesn't exist, or your directory's base DN somehow doesn't exist. Try adding the People OU to your base, and add this LDIF again.

Also, generally, posting your password hashes to the Internet is not the best of ideas.

Occasionally this problem is also a result of being unable to open the backend BDB database, though usually some indication of this will be given in the debug output.

You may need to import more things first though.

Like your base DN:

dn: dc=example,dc=com
objectClass: top
objectClass: dcObject
objectClass: organization
dc: example
o: ExmapleCo

You might be able to omit objectClass=organization and o=ExampleCo (I honestly forget).

Also, your OU:

dn: ou=People,dc=example,dc=com
objectClass: organizationalUnit
ou: People

I added entries of my ldif file – Pradeep Gupta Sep 21 '13 at 19:29
That is pretty simple, then - try adding the ou=People container to dc=example,dc=com first, and then try it again. You might also have to add dc=example,dc=com to the directory if you haven't already. – Falcon Momot Sep 21 '13 at 19:31
How to add this ou=People to dc=example,dc=com? – Pradeep Gupta Sep 21 '13 at 19:35
There, I gave you LDIF contents for it. – Falcon Momot Sep 21 '13 at 19:35
Thanks, Thats solved my problem, i made base.ldif and include those entries into them. – Pradeep Gupta Sep 21 '13 at 19:45
