I'm trying to import the data from our OpenLDAP server into FedoraDS. I've exported the data from OpenLDAP into an LDIF file and am now trying to import that into my Fedora DS instance, unfortunately it gets errors on the first entry. I tried just seperating out the first entry into its own LDIF file:
dn: cn=Domain Users,ou=groups,dc=registriesltd,dc=com,dc=au gidNumber: 513 sambaSID: S-1-5-21-1837449576-3234076748-520123900-513 cn: Domain Users sambaGroupType: 2 objectClass: top objectClass: posixgroup objectClass: sambaGroupMapping description: Domain Users displayName: Domain Users creatorsName: cn=samba,ou=special,dc=registriesltd,dc=com,dc=au createTimestamp: 20041013050147Z modifiersName: cn=samba,ou=special,dc=registriesltd,dc=com,dc=au modifyTimestamp: 20041013050147Z
But I still get the same error when importing it:
Error adding object 'dn: cn=Domain Users,ou=groups,dc=registriesltd,dc=com,dc=au'. The error sent by the server was 'No such object'. The object is: LDAPEntry: cn=Domain Users,ou=groups,dc=registriesltd,dc=com,dc=au; LDAPAttributeSet: LDAPAttribute {type='gidnumber', values='513'} LDAPAttribute {type='displayname', values='Domain Users'} LDAPAttribute {type='objectclass', values='top,posixgroup,sambaGroupMapping'} LDAPAttribute {type='sambasid', values='S-1-5-21-1837449576-3234076748-520123900-513'} LDAPAttribute {type='modifytimestamp', values='20041013050147Z'} LDAPAttribute {type='modifiersname', values='cn=samba,ou=special,dc=registriesltd,dc=com,dc=au'} LDAPAttribute {type='sambagrouptype', values='2'} LDAPAttribute {type='createtimestamp', values='20041013050147Z'} LDAPAttribute {type='cn', values='Domain Users'} LDAPAttribute {type='creatorsname', values='cn=samba,ou=special,dc=registriesltd,dc=com,dc=au'} LDAPAttribute {type='description', values='Domain Users'}.
I'm a bit of newbie when it comes to LDIF files and Schemas so I'm not sure exacly where to go from here? Is there a more detailed error log than that rejects file? What kind of problems cause this 'No Such Object' error?
Thanks

Tim,
What is the base of the directory you are trying to import into? If it is dc=registriesltd,dc=com,dc=au, then you need a ou=groups,dc=registriesltd,dc=com,dc=au entry before you can import your cn=Domain Users entry. The parent of each child entry must exist before you can import the child.

If you get no such object upon attempting to add an entry, that means that the entry's parent doesn't exist.

You need to (manually) create the ou=groups,dc=registriesltd,dc=com,dc=au entry before you add this as others have suggested.
gidNumber: 513 sambaSID: S-1-5-21-1837449576-3234076748-520123900-513
You will probably have to add a schema extension before you add this attribute -- have you read the stuff in the Fedora Directory Server wiki about getting schema entries from OpenLDAP (in whose format the samba schema extensions are provided) into FDS?
objectClass: sambaGroupMapping
Alternatively, if you know the OID of the sambaGroupMapping object class then you can use LdapImport to import the object and its attributes directly from your running OpenLDAP DS into your running FDS.
creatorsName: cn=samba,ou=special,dc=registriesltd,dc=com,dc=au createTimestamp: 20041013050147Z modifiersName: cn=samba,ou=special,dc=registriesltd,dc=com,dc=au modifyTimestamp: 20041013050147Z
You don't want to attempt to import these attributes from your LDIF file into FDS.
LdapImport should be able to help you out here:
