3/24    How do I add new users to a LDAP server (I'm using openldap)?
        Right now I have the rootdn, but I would like to have a couple
        of other users, esp. one that has read-only access.
        \_ man ldap
           \_ people like you are the reason "unix" should be spelled with
              a ch and an e. E-U-N-I-C-H-S.
              \_ "Unix is ready for the desktop" == "Unix weenies aren't
                  ready for the human population"
              \_ You stupid fuck, it's in my man pages.  Just because you
                 lack man page fu doesn't mean all of us have shitty man
                 pages.  Like I said, man ldap.  Get better pages if it isn't
                 there but don't insult your betters.  It only shows how
                 utterly and completely self absorbed and stupid you are.
                 \_ i wasn't the original poster, and i couldn't care less
                    about ldap or whatever.  i just think alot of unix
                    people are assholes, and that one of their most annoying
                    traits ins their "rtfm" attitude.  fuck you.
                    \_ If you don't rtfm you won't solve your problem.  They
                       tell you to rtfm because that's where the answer is.
                       There's no spoon feeding possible.  You want to be
                       spoon fed?  Go ask yermom.  Smart people can manage to
                       type one simple command and skim forward to the examples
                       section to find the answer or something really damned
                       close.  You are not only a stupid fuck and an asshole,
                       but your smearing "alot of unix people" in one nice big
                       easily smearable group is ridiculous.  If providing the
                       only real answer makes me an annoying asshole, then so
                       fucking be it. --annoying asshole who gave right answer
           \_ man ldap on Sol2.7 didn't have anything about adding users.
              Anyone have a better idea. I already looked on http://www.openldap.org
              and they explain how to do ACLs, but not how to add users that
              the ACLs apply to. It seems like I'm missing something obvious.
        \_It's my _guess_ that OpenLDAP doesn't have a cool like app or
          GUI to create users (unlike Netscape or other directory servers).
          But since LDAP users are just entries in the directory, the
          common way to do it is to use your favorite text editor to create
          a LDIF file and use some utility to read the LDIF and place the
          entries into the directory. (LDIF is also much better for adding a
          lot of entries (users), you'll be sick of the GUI really fast.)
          See http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/182.html for some more
          info. You may need to dig into the schema and the documentaton
          for the LDIF format (on web somewhere) if you want something
          fancier. -lcddave
                \_ Yeah, openldap doesn't have a nice gui to add data, but
                   I don't care about that. I'm accessing it all via JNDI
                   from a set of servlets. The part that I was missing is
                   that any valid dn can be used as a user. I just need
                   to add the userPassword field for that record.
          \_ You want him to read the faq?  What are you?  Some kind of
             annoying asshole?  God, I hate it when people provide a real
             answer and cite their source.  You unix people all suck!
