People, I have installed the 389 DS on F14 x86_64 OK and can see a few people that I added with the 389 Console in both Thunderbird and Squirrelmail but now I want to do a bulk import of my TB addressbook into the 389 DB. I can export the TB AB to an ldif file but it fails to import using the 389 "Import Databases" fn - I presume I have to somehow massage the LDIF file to make it compatible? Here is a complete record: dn: cn=Tina XXXXXX,mail=TXXXXXX(a)nYYYYYYY.com objectclass: top objectclass: person objectclass: organizationalPerson objectclass: inetOrgPerson objectclass: mozillaAbPersonAlpha givenName: Tina sn: Franks cn: Tina XXXXXX mozillaNickname: tinaX mail: TXXXXXXX(a)nYYYYYYY.com modifytimestamp: 48a5a25d I guess one of the objectlasses should be "People"? Thanks, Phil.

I guess the standard schema of 389Ds do not know objectclass mozillaAbPersonAlpha and the attribute mozillanickname You can extend your schema with the 389console or remove (rename) the mozilla oc and attr

Hi, now the output in /var/log/dirserv/slapd-<inst>/access would be very helpful. Btw. the dn line means, that you must have a suffix with the dn: mail=TXXXXXX(a)nYYYYYYY.com which is not common.
