When using ldapmodify and typing the LDIF in you need to finish with a blank line for it to be submitted:

$ ldapmodify -H ldapi:/// -Y EXTERNAL
dn: uid=alice,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com
changetype: modify
add: mail
mail: alice@example.com

modifying entry "uid=alice,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com"

Once you see the modifying entry line it's safe to Ctrl+C or Ctrl+D.

  • Thanks. It says my attribute type is undefined. Which type can I give my key attribute? Is key; long defined? – nolags Aug 31 '16 at 11:00
