[Jxplorer-users] Modifying data from ldif-files

[Peter Stromback]

Hi

I am new to JXplorer but have used LDAP Browser\Editor v2.8.2 and the
command line utilities in Open LDAP before. I would like to use ldif-files
to modify existing objects in the ldap tree. In the LDAP Browser\Editor
there is three options called Add only, Update only and Update/Add for
importing ldif-files where the user can decide if data should be added or
updated. When importing ldif-files from the command line I can use ldif
files which are looking something like this …

dn: cn=Paula Jensen, ou=Product Development, dc=airius, dc=com
changetype: modify
replace: telephonenumber
telephonenumber: [phone]
telephonenumber: [phone]
-

This is also the way described by the LDIF RFC. This approach seams however
to fail when using JXplorer with the error message “changetype: attribute
type undefined”. If I remove the changetype and replace line from the ldif
file I will receive a NameAlreadyBoundException. Can anyone please tell me
how to perform this simple task? Sorry if this has been discussed before or
is written somewhere but I have not been able to find any useful information
about this.
