Hi there A colleague of mine recently exported what we believed to be all the data from a running apacheds v24 server like so
ldapsearch -h hostname -x -p 10389 -b "dc=org" -s sub "(ObjectClass=)" + > backup_060220.ldif I've then ran through a number of ldif scripts, adding them to a new installation to build up the same structure on a different machine, but when I try to add the backup file it's failing right at the start ldapadd -h localhost -p 10389 -x -w [PASSWORD] -D "uid=admin,ou=system" -f /tmp/backup_060220.ldif adding new entry "dc=DansOrg2,dc=org" ldap_add: Object class violation (65) additional info: OBJECT_CLASS_VIOLATION: failed for MessageType : ADD_REQUEST Message ID : 2 Add Request : Entry dn[n]: dc=DansOrg2,dc=org subschemaSubentry: cn=schema createTimestamp: 20191018141712.279Z entryUUID: a98fa576-d440-49d5-b336-5f175a5c619e entryDN: dc=DansOrg2,dc=org nbSubordinates: 2 entryCSN: 20191018141712.279000Z#000000#001#000000 entryParentId: 2115906e-3e4d-433e-95f3-3311038027b2 nbChildren: 2 creatorsName: 0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.1=admin,2.5.4.11=system : ERR_60 Entry dc=DansOrg2,dc=org does not contain a STRUCTURAL ObjectClass Looking at the backup ldif file, there are numerous entries at the beginning that don't have any objectclass defined, here's the first one # DansOrg2.org dn: dc=DansOrg2,dc=org entryCSN: 20191018141712.279000Z#000000#001#000000 nbSubordinates: 2 nbChildren: 2 createTimestamp: 20191018141712.279Z creatorsName: 0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.1=admin,2.5.4.11=system subschemaSubentry: cn=schema entryDN: dc=DansOrg2,dc=org entryUUID: a98fa576-d440-49d5-b336-5f175a5c619e entryParentId: 2115906e-3e4d-433e-95f3-3311038027b2 We're very new to apacheds, so I don’t know if we're creating the backup incorrectly, or importing it incorrectly, or a bit of both. I don't really understand how it could import without an object class. Any help or advice would be very welcome. Thanks Matt
