Guys,
 
I downloaded a script called USERADD from link: http://www.redhat.com/f/pdf/rhas/NetgroupWhitepaper.pdf Page 9 and follow  as follow:
 
It did create a new Users.ldif file as follow:
 
dn: uid=dave, cn=EnvOD,ou=IM,ou=Bangalore,dc=im,dc=sap,dc=com
changetype: add
uid: dave
objectClass: top
objectClass: person
objectClass: organizationalPerson
objectClass: inetorgperson
objectClass: posixAccount
cn: Dave Meyer
sn: Meyer
givenName: Dave Meyer
gidNumber: 1000
uidNumber: 1003
userPassword: {clear}redhat
loginShell: /bin/bash
homeDirectory: /home/dave
 
 
But  if I import it into Directory Server as:
 
ldapmodify -h 389-ds.sap.com  -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w <password>  -f Users.ldif
[1] 9443
-bash: -f: command not found
[root@389-ds opt]# SASL/EXTERNAL authentication started
ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Unknown authentication method (-6)
        additional ldapmodify -h 389-ds.sapient.com  -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w Oracle123456& -f Users.ldif
 
No Idea why its behaving so?
Am I missing anything in the command.
I did provided -ZZ options for TLS but it dint work.
 
Note: I have configured SSL for the 389-Ds.
