Open ldap modify - /usr/bin/modify problem

Question

Can anyone help me out on this? I'am trying to add another attribute on my LDAP, but i don't know much about this. It returns an error after trying the sample i searched on net. This command will be used on my perl program to add new attribute "status" w/ value "yes"..

Help pls?

/usr/bin/ldapmodify -x -D "cn=Test,ou=mygroup.com,o=group2.com" -a "status=yes"??

the -W doesn't work too.

Error: ldap_bind: Can't contact LDAP server (-1)

Answer 1

Try -v for detail log and -w should be in lower case. As for excluding the password one way is to use '-w -' which you will be prompt to enter the password. Hope this helps.
