openldap "no global superior knowledge" - openldap

Question

When I:
ldapadd -f pop01.ldif -x -D "cn=Manager,dc=ldap,dc=beonegroup,dc=be" -w 1234
I get:
adding new entry "dc=ldap,dc=beonegroup,dc=org"
ldapadd: Server is unwilling to perform (53)
additional info: no global superior knowledge
Here is my slapd.conf:
database bdb
suffix "dc=ldap,dc=beonegroup,dc=be"
rootdn "cn=Manager,dc=ldap,dc=beonegroup,dc=be"
rootpw 1234
directory /var/lib/ldap/beoneDirectory
index objectClass eq,pres
index ou,cn,mail,surname,givenname eq,pres,sub
index uidNumber,gidNumber,loginShell eq,pres
index uid,memberUid eq,pres,sub
index nisMapName,nisMapEntry eq,pres,sub
And my file used to populate:
[root#local beoneDirectory]# pwd
/var/lib/ldap/beoneDirectory
[root#local beoneDirectory]# cat pop01.ldif
dn: dc=ldap,dc=beone,dc=org
objectClass: top

I know this is a slapd.conf related issue, openldap doesn't know where to insert my entries but I don't really see how to specify it

Answer 1

Your database is named (has suffix):
dc=ldap,dc=beonegroup,dc=be
You are in the ldif trying to add stuff to
dn: dc=ldap,dc=beone,dc=org
This is somewhat equivalent of makeing a directory called /something, then trying to create the file /some/file. It won't work since the directory /some doesn't exist.
Remember LDAP data is organized in a hierarchical structure, i.e. the form of a tree like directories and files are. The word superior refers to the level above (closer to top), similar to parent directory (closer to root) in the filesystem example.
In the filesystem you would get the error message /some/file: No such file or directory
The LDAP error could probably have been worded better, but to fix this you have to either change the suffix in your slapd.conf or change the stuff you want to add. They have to match.
(Thanks to lilalinux for in the comments also specifying how to fix)

Answer 2

The domain component structure what you have defined "dc=ldap,dc=beonegroup,dc=be" in not matching with your input entry in pop01.ldif first line.
Try to change the first line in your pop01.ldif from dc=org to dc=be and try again.
