[389-users] Getting started with 389 DS

Mon Oct 25 14:48:15 UTC 2010

Hi Harry, 
It basically means that the object class used to define the user in the directory from which you exported the user does not exist in 389 or is not available. It might also help to post an example of the ldif file here for people to have a look at. It will make debugging your problem much easier. You could probably either import the object class or replace the objectclass with a suitably similar ojbectclass in 389 directory.

An object class is a list of attributes grouped together to define an entry. You can combine multiple object classed to have more attributes available with which to "describe" an entry.

Best Regards

Thanks.  I'll keep that in mind.  While I have your attention, can I ask another question since I'm progressing along?  What I ultimately want to do is migrate from Microsoft Active Directory 2003 to 389 Directory Server.  I was reading up on how to export to an ldif file using ldifde.  However, when I try to import the ldif file into my test 389 DS, I get an error for each user that says "entry <xxxx> has unknown object class "user" " (the <xxxx> is the CN= entry for that user).

All I've found in the docs online so far is how to sync between the DS and AD.  I don't want to sync; I want to basically migrate.  I can't find how to do that.  Any thoughts?

Thanks!
Harry

Yes.  You will need to open 389, 636, and 9830
