Adding Entries

You can add an entry to the directory using ldapadd(1). You can specify a single entry on the command line, or you can specify one or more entries in a file. See the ldapmodify(1) man page (ldapadd is a particular configuration of ldapmodify) for details of how to use ldapadd.

You can use dsimport with the -n option to create an LDAP Data Interchange Format (LDIF) file suitable for use with ldapadd. You can also create your own LDIF file manually, and use the ldifcheck(1m) command to validate it. The format of LDIF files is described in the ldif(4) man page.
