    Add members to a group using LDIF file

    Hi everyone,

    I am trying to import existing members to a distribution group I already created. Knowing only a few things about LDAP and the LDIF files, I browsed the Internet and found this code:
    version: 1

    dn: cn=test,ou=myusers,DC=domain
    changetype: modify
    add: groupMembership
    groupMembership: cn=group1,ou=mygroups,DC=domain
    -

    dn: cn=group1,ou=mygroups,DC=domain
    changetype: modify
    add: member
    member: cn=test,ou=myusers,DC=domain
    -

    This is what I get from the CLI when I enter:
    C:\myldapfiles>ldifde -i -f test.ldf -k -j C:\myldapfiles
    Connecting to "***"
    Logging in as current user using SSPI
    Importing directory from file "test.ldf"
    Loading entries.
    Add error on entry starting on line 3: No Such Attribute
    The server side error is: 0x57 The parameter is incorrect.
    The extended server error is:
    00000057: LdapErr: DSID-0C090B73, comment: Error in attribute conversion operation, data 0, v1772
    0 entries modified successfully.
    An error has occurred in the program

    I really don't understand what is wrong with this code. I tested it and found it worked when I removed the groupMembership attribute and keep only the second half of the file. Could someone give me some pointers, please ?

    Thanks!
    Coyoth

    Re: Add members to a group using LDIF file

    Can you try to create an LDIF file that conforms to the Lotus Workforce Management schema by below examples:

    dn: uid=user1,ou=users,o=example
    changetype: add
    objectclass: csdpPerson
    cn: myuser
    sn: hislastname
    manager: uid=user2,ou=users,o=example
    employeenumber: 123456

    dn:uid=user3,ou=users,o=example
    changetype: delete

    dn: uid=user2,ou=users,o=example
    changetype: modify
    replace: userpassword
    userpassword: secret

    dn: cn=group1,ou=users,o=example
    changetype: add
    objectclass: groupOfuniqueNames
    uniqueMember: uid=user1,ou=users,o=example
    .
    .
    .

    Thanks! I'll make sure to try!
    Would you know where I can learn more on the lotus workforce management schema? I am not sure the code to add a user to a group is complete in this sample...

    Thanks again!

    You can learn the lotus workforce management schema from this pdf file that is fully documented by the IBM company. It definately has got all the information that you want to know about lotus workforce management. Hope that helps you out.
