If You use slapcat-based ldif, you should probably remove lines of various system attributes from ldif file, especially like these: > structuralObjectClass: ..... > creatorsName: cn=nsadmin > createTimestamp: 19980218204619Z > modifiersName: uid=nsadmin,o=trac > modifyTimestamp: 19980722182149Z > entryUUID: 8179b9a2-74d7-102a-9988-90f8caf384a9 > entryCSN: 20060511011623Z#000003#00#000000 These attributes are read-only, and automatically added by server, they can appear in slapcat-result file to be loaded with slapadd command, with the all objects tree, but you cannot add object with ldapadd, with ldif containing these attributes (I don't remember whether ldapadd simply ignores it, or returns ldap error).
